单词 | 亨德里克 |
释义 | 〔Baekeland〕Belgian-born American chemist who developed the first plastic to harden permanently after heating.贝克兰,利奥·亨德里克:(1863-1944) 美籍比利时裔化学家,他开发了第一件加热之后永久变硬的塑料制品〔shyster〕The origin ofshyster was not known for certain until recently. According to one etymology,shyster comes from the surname of one Scheuster, a disreputable and almost certainly nonexistent mid-19th-century attorney.In his bookHuman Words, a collection of words formed from the names of people, Robert Hendrickson says that Dr. Henry Bosley Woolf and others "list the New York advocate as a possible source.”But the actual etymology, according to Gerald L. Cohen, a student of the word,is less flattering.According to this etymology,the word is derived from the German termscheisser, meaning literally "one who defecates,”from the verbscheissen, "to defecate,” with the English suffix-ster, "one who does,” substituted for the German suffix -er, meaning the same thing. Sheisser, which is chiefly a pejorative term, is the German equivalent of our English termsbastard and son of a bitch. Sheisser is generally thought to have been borrowed directly into English as the word shicer, which, among other things, is an Australian English term for an unproductive mine or claim,a sense that is also recorded for the wordshyster. shyster 一词的来源直到最近才能较确切地弄清楚。 根据词源,shyster 来自一个叫 Scheuster 的人的姓, 他是一位声名狼籍而且很可能并不存在的19世纪中期的律师。罗伯特·亨德里克森在他的人类词汇 (一本由人名组成的词汇集)一书中说, 亨利·博斯利·任尔夫博士和其他的人“将纽约的鼓吹者列为一种可能的出处”。但是据加兰德·L·科恩——一位研究词汇的学生看来,这个词的真正词源更令人不快。根据这种词源,这个词来自德语Scheisser, 字面意义为“大便的人”,是从动词scheissen “排泄”而来, 用一英语词缀-ster (做…的人)代替了表相同意义的德语词缀 -er 。 Sheisser 主要用作贬蔑语, 在德语中相当于我们英语中bastard 及 son of a bitch。 Sheisser一般被认为是直接借入英语作为 Schicer 一词, 在澳式英语中指不再产出的矿山或没有结果的要求,这一意义也被记录在Shyster 这个词中 〔Lorentz〕Dutch physicist.
