释义 | 〔Ruthenian〕Of or relating to Ruthenia, the Ruthenians, or their language or culture.罗塞尼亚(人、语)的:罗塞尼亚的、罗塞尼亚人的、罗塞尼亚人的语言或文化的〔Kazakh〕The Turkic language of this people.哈萨克语:哈萨克人的语言,属突厥语族〔Elamite〕The language of the ancient Elamites, of no known linguistic affiliation.埃兰语:古埃兰人的语言,属何种语系不详〔Inupiaq〕The language of the Inupiaq.印努皮耶喀语:印努皮耶喀人的语言〔Miskito〕The language of the Miskito. Also called Mosquito 米斯基托语:米斯基托人的语言 也作 Mosquito〔Tarascan〕The language of the Tarascans, of no known linguistic affiliation.塔拉斯科语:塔拉斯科人的语言,与其它语言的关系并不清楚〔avocado〕The history ofavocado takes us back to the Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs) word ahuacatl, "fruit of the avocado tree" or "testicle.”The wordahuacatl was compounded with others, as inahuacamolli, meaning "avocado soup or sauce,” from which the Spanish-Mexican wordguacamole derives. In trying to pronounceahuacatl, the Spanish who found the fruit and its Nahuatl name in Mexico came up with aguacate, but other Spanish speakers substituted the formavocado for the Nahuatl word becauseahuacatl sounded like the early Spanish word avocado (now abogado ), meaning "lawyer.” In borrowing the Spanishavocado, first recorded in English in 1697 in the compound avogato pear ( with a spelling that probably reflects Spanish pronunciation),we have lost many of the traces of the more interesting Nahuatl word.词avocado 的历史将我们带回那瓦特尔语(阿兹特克人的语言)单词 ahuacatl, “鳄梨树的果实”或“睾丸”。单词ahuacatl 与其它词结合, 如ahuacamolli 表示“鳄梨汤或调味汁,” 西班牙-墨西哥语单词guacamole 即源于此。 当试图读出ahuacatl 时,西班牙人发现了鳄梨果实及其在墨西哥的那瓦特尔语名称并提出了 aguacate , 但另一些讲西班牙语的人以avocado 替代了这个那瓦特尔语单词, 因为ahuacatl 的发音听起来象早期西班牙单词 avocado, (现在的 abogado ),表示“律师。” 英语中首次借用这个西班牙单词avocado, 记录于1697年,在复合词 鳄梨 ( 其拼写可能反映了西班牙语发音),我们已经失落了很多更有趣的那瓦特尔语单词的踪迹〔spree〕A spending spree seems a far cry from a cattle raid,yet etymologists have suggested that the wordspree comes from the Scots word spreath, "cattle raid.” The wordspree is first recorded in a poem in Scots dialect in 1804 in the sense of "a lively outing.” This sense is closely connected with a sense recorded soon afterward (in 1811), "a drinking bout,”while the familiar sense "an overindulgence in an activity,”as in aspending spree, is recorded in 1849. Scots and Irish dialect also have a sense "a fight,”which may help connect the word and the sense "lively outing" with the Scots wordspreath, meaning variously, "booty,” "cattle taken as spoils,” "a herd of cattle taken in a raid,” and "cattle raid.” The Scots word comes from Irish and Scottish Gaelicspréidh, "cattle,” which in turn ultimately comes from Latin praeda, "booty.” This last link reveals both the importance of the Latin language to Gaelicand a connection between cattle and plunder in earlier Irish and Scottish societies.狂欢作乐似乎与牛的袭击相去甚远,然而词源学表明spree 来自苏格兰语 spreath “牛的袭击”。 Spree 在1804年首次出现于苏格兰方言写成的一首诗中,意为“活跃的出游”。 这个意思与不久之后(1811年)出现的意思“狂饮”很接近,而相近的意思“无节制的狂热行为”,比如spending spree 于1849年出现。 苏格兰和爱尔兰方言还有“打架”的意思,这可能有助于将该词同其意义与苏格兰语spreath 的不同意思相联系,这些意思为“战利品”、“作为掠夺品的牛”、“袭击中所得的一群牛”或“牛袭击”。 这个苏格兰词来自爱尔兰和苏格兰盖尔人的语言 spréidh “牛”(此词最终源自拉丁语 praeda “战利品”)。 这一最后的联系不仅表明拉丁语同盖尔语的重要联系,也表明早期爱尔兰和苏格兰社会中牛和劫掠的联系〔Brinton〕American anthropologist who was the first to attempt a systematic classification of Native American languages.布林顿,丹尼尔·加里森:(1837-1899) 美国人类学家,是第一个试图对美洲土著人的语言进行系统分类的人〔Mixtec〕The language of this people.米斯克语:该种人的语言〔Ostyak〕The Ugric language of this people.奥斯加克语:奥斯加克人的语言,属乌戈尔语系〔Basque〕The language of the Basques, of no known linguistic affiliation.巴斯克语:巴斯克人的语言,其语系关系不明〔Egyptian〕Of or relating to the language of the ancient Egyptians.古埃及语的:古埃及人的语言的〔party〕Party is unexceptionable when used to refer to a participant in a social arrangement, as inShe was not named as a party in the conspiracy. It is this sense that underlies the legal use of the term,as when one speaks of theparties to a contract. The legal use has in turn led to the presence of the word in many fixed expressions,such asinjured party and third party. Butparty is also widely used as a general substitute for person, as inWould all parties who left packages at the desk please reclaim their property. This usage has been established for many centuries,but in the Victorian era it came to be associated with the language of the semieducated(theOxford English Dictionary describes it as "shoppy"), and it has been the subject of many later criticisms.This use ofparty may have been reinforced by its modern adoption by telephone operators. In other contexts,when used in earnest,it may be perceived as a superfluous variant forperson. But the jocular use of the term is well established,particular in references such asa wise old party. Party 用作指一项社会活动的参与者是很常见的, 如她不是这一阴谋的参与者。 正是这一意义构成了这一词的法律用法,如人们说及 parties to a contract 。 这种法律用法反过来又使得这一词出现在许多固定的短语中,如injured party 和 third party。 但party 也被广泛地用于对 person 的泛称, 如在所有将包裹放在桌子上的人请来认领他们的东西。 这种用法已确立了许多个世纪,但在维多利亚时代,它开始与受过部分教育的人的语言联系起来(牛津英语词典 把它描述为“三句话不离本行的”), 并且它已成为后来许多批判家批评的对象。Party 的这一用法由于话务员的经常采用而被强化了。 在其它的上下文中,当用于严肃的场合时,它可以被视作是person 不必要的变体。 但这一词诙谐的用法确立已久,尤其在提及如一个精明的老人 时 〔vulgar〕Abbr. vulg.Spoken by or expressed in language spoken by the common people; vernacular:缩写 vulg.俗语的,方言的:用普通人的语言说的或表达的;地方话的:〔Sumerian〕The language of the Sumerians, of no known linguistic affiliation.苏美尔语:苏美尔人的语言,语言起源不明〔Yukaghir〕The language of the Yukaghirs, perhaps related to Uralic.尤卡吉尔语:尤卡吉尔人的语言,可能同乌拉尔语有关联〔Sabellian〕A group of extinct Italic languages that includes Sabine.萨贝利语组:一组已消亡的意大利人的语言,其中包括萨宾语 |
