To answer this question,we must go back to the Middle Ages.But first, let it be noted thatpremises comes from the past participle praemissa, which is both a feminine singular and a neuter plural form of the Latin verbpraemittere, "to send in advance, utter by way of preface, place in front, prefix.” In Medieval Latin the feminine formpraemissa was used as a term in logic, for which we still use the termpremise descended from the Medieval Latin word (first recorded in a work composed before 1380).Medieval Latinpraemissa in the plural meant "things mentioned before" and was used in legal documents, almost always in the plural,a use that was followed in Old French and Middle English, both of which borrowed the word from Latin.A more specific legal sense in Middle English,"that property, collectively, which is specified in the beginning of a legal document and which is conveyed, as by grant,”was also always in the plural in Middle English and later Modern English.And so it remained when this sense was extended to mean "a house or building with its grounds or appurtenances,”a usage first recorded before 1730.为什么我们把单独的一幢建筑称为the premises ? 为了回答这个问题,我们必须回到中世纪。但首先必须注意的是premises 是从过去式 praemissa 而来的, 这是意思为“预先发送,以前言的方式说出,放在前边,前缀”的拉丁动词praemittere 的阴性单数形式及中性复数形式。 在中世纪拉丁语中,praemissa 作为阴性形式被用作逻辑状语, 因此我们仍然使用这个来源于中世纪拉丁语的术语premise (第一次记载于1380年前编纂的作品中)。中世纪拉丁语praemissa 的复数形式意为“前面提到的事物”, 用于法律文件并总是以复数形式出现,古法语和中古英语中都从拉丁语中借用了这个词及其用法。中古英语中有一种更特殊的法律方面的意义,“法律文件开头指明并根据转让的财产,如通过赠送”,在中世纪英语和后来的现代英语中也是以复数形式使用。因此当它的意思被扩展为“连同其土地及设施一所房子或一幢建筑”时仍保留这一用法,该用法最初记载于1730年前。〔quintet〕A composition for five voices or instruments.五重唱、五重奏:五声部演唱或五种乐器演奏的作品〔Holst〕English composer whose works include the orchestral suiteThe Planets (1914-1916) and many songs and choral pieces. 赫斯特,古斯塔夫·里奥朵:英国作曲家,其作品包括管弦乐组曲《行星》 (1914年至1916年)、许多歌曲及圣歌作品 〔Ravel〕French composer of impressionistic operas, ballets, orchestral works, such asBoléro (1928), and piano works, including Le Tombeau de Couperin (1917). 拉威尔,莫里斯·约瑟夫:(1875-1937) 法国作曲家,创作印象主义歌剧,芭蕾舞和交响乐作品,例如《波莱罗》 (1928年)以及钢琴曲,包括 《在库伯兰悼墓前》 (1917年) 〔Simms〕American writer noted especially for his historical novels, includingGuy Rivers (1834) and Beauchampe (1842). 西姆斯,威廉·吉尔摩:(1806-1870) 美国作家,尤以其历史小说著名,作品有《盖里佛斯》 (1834年)和 《波尚》 (1842年) 〔pianissimo〕A part of a composition played very softly or quietly.非常轻地演奏的乐段:非常轻柔或安静地演奏的作品部分〔content〕The meaning or significance of a literary or artistic work.含义:文学或艺品作品中的含义或意义〔Vonnegut〕American writer whose works show compassion and humor in the midst of the violence and alienation of modern life.

He won the 1954 Nobel Prize for literature. 海明威,欧内斯特·米勒:(1899-1961) 美国作家。第一次世界大战期间先后做过救护车司机、新闻记者、探险家和被驱逐者,本世纪20年代移居巴黎从事短篇小说和小说的写作,作品有《太阳照样升起》 (1926年), 《表钟为谁鸣》 (1940年),及 《老人与海》 (1952年)等,作品大都描写英勇无畏而孤独的人物,带有精炼的文学风格。他1954年获诺贝尔文学奖 〔Chirico〕Italian painter whose works are characterized by deep shadow and perspective, barren landscapes, and elements of classical architecture and sculpture.基里科,乔吉奥·德:(1888-1978) 意大利画家,作品以很暗的阴影、透视的荒凉风光以及古典主义建筑和雕塑因素为特征〔perspicuity〕"He was at pains to insist on the perspicuity of what he wrote"(Lionel Trilling)“他努力坚持作品的清楚明晰”(赖恩内尔·特里林)〔thusly〕Thusly was introduced in the 19th century as an alternative for thus in sentences such asHold it thus or He put it thus. The increasingly literary character of such uses ofthus may have facilitated coinage of the new adverbthusly, particularly by poorly educated speakers who were straining for a stylish effect.Early citations for the word indicate clear association with rustic or illiterate speech,and though the word has subsequently gained some currency in educated usage,it is still widely regarded as incorrect.In an earlier surveythe use of the word was judged unacceptable by a large majority of the Usage Panel.In formal writingthus can still be used as in the examples above; in other styles,expressions such asthis way and like this are more natural. Thusly 在19世纪时被作为 thus 的替代语使用, 如用在 Hold it thus 或 He put it thus 等句中。 thus 这些用法日益具有书面语的特点, 这可能促成了一个新的副词thusly 的产生, 这对那些受教育程度不高但又尽量追求文采的人尤其有用。这个词的早期引用清楚地表明了它与乡村或文盲语言的联系,尽管后来它在受教育的人中得以一定传播,但仍被普便认为是一种不正确的用法。早期进行的一次调查中,用法委员会小组绝大多数都认为这个词的使用是不能接受的。在正式的文字中,thus 这个词仍然能用于上面所举的例子; 在其它风格的作品中,this way 和 like this 等表达方式更为普遍 〔Chapman〕American writer best known for his essays. His works includeEmerson and Other Essays (1898) and New Horizons in American Life (1932). 查普曼,约翰·杰伊:(1862-1933) 美国作家,以其短文最为著名。作品有《爱默生选集》 (1898年)及 《美国人生活的新天地》 (1932年) 〔Grey〕American writer of Western adventure novels, includingRiders of the Purple Sage (1912). 格雷,赞:(1875-1939) 美国西部历险小说作家,作品有《紫艾丛中的骑士》 (1912年) 〔overture〕An instrumental composition intended especially as an introduction to an extended work, such as an opera or oratorio.器乐前奏曲:一种器乐乐曲,尤被用作长作品(如一部歌剧或圣乐的导言部分)〔fraction〕One might think that a word likefraction as well as its ancestors might have always referred to the mathematical fraction. Certainly the mathematical notion of a fraction was known to the Babylonians, perhaps as early as 2000b.c. But our wordfraction goes back only to the Latin word frangere, "to break.” From the stem of the past participlefrāctus is derived Late Latin frāctiō, "a breaking" or "a breaking in pieces,”as in the breaking of the Eucharistic Host.In Medieval Latin the wordfrāctiō developed its mathematical sense, which was taken into Middle English along with the word.The earliest recorded sense of our word is "an aliquot part of a unit, a fraction or subdivision,”found in a work by Chaucer written about 1400.One of the next recorded instances of the word recalls its origins, referring to the "brekying or fraccioun" of a bone.人们也许认为一个词如fraction 以及它的词源总是指数学上的分数。 当然,分数的数学概念也许早在公元前 2000年就已被巴比伦人所熟知。 但fraction 一词仅能追溯到拉丁词 frangere ,“打碎”。 源自过去分词fractus 的词干是派生的后期拉丁语 fractio , 意为“破裂”或“碎成一片片的”,如感恩节的饼的碎块。在中世纪拉丁语中,fractio 一词出现了数学意义, 这个词连同此意义都被记入中世纪英语中。这个词最早记载的意义是“一个数学单元,繁分数或再分数的约数”,出现在约1400年乔臾写的一部作品里。后来此词有记录的例子之一,指骨头上的“裂痕或碎片”,使人回忆起它的起源〔Bartlett〕American publisher and editor who compiledFamiliar Quotations (1855) and a Shakespearean concordance (1894). 巴特利特,约翰:(1820-1905) 美国出版商和编辑,编撰了《常用引语》 (1855年)和莎士比亚作品索引 〔Campbell〕British actress who was the first to portray Eliza inPygmalion (1913), a part written for her by George Bernard Shaw. 坎贝尔,帕特里克:(1865-1940) 英国女演员,第一个饰演《皮格马利翁》 (1913年)中的埃莉莎,该剧是乔治·肖伯纳为她而写的一部作品 〔tome〕One of the books in a work of several volumes.册,分卷:几卷的作品中的任何一册书〔Kneller〕German-born English portrait painter whose subjects included English royalty, aristocrats, and scholars.内勒,戈弗雷:(1646?-1723) 德裔英国肖像画家,他作品的对象包括英国皇族、贵族和学者〔Warner〕American writer and editor best known for his collaboration onThe Gilded Age (1873) with Mark Twain and for his series of essays My Summer in a Garden (1871). 沃纳,查尔斯·达德利:(1829-1900) 美国作家及编缉,最著名的作品是与马克·吐温合写的《镀金时代》 (1873年)和系列杂文 《我花园内的夏日时光》 (1871年) 〔excerpt〕A passage or segment taken from a longer work, such as a literary or musical composition, a document, or a film.选段,摘录:从长篇作品,如从文章、乐章、文件或电影中摘录的一段或一部分〔attack〕a careful performance, but one lacking the rigorous attack the work demands.一场精心设计但缺乏作品所需感染力的表演〔Melchers〕American painter of genre scenes, religious works, and the muralsThe Arts of War and The Arts of Peace (1893). 梅尔彻斯,加利:(1860-1932) 美国风俗画及宗教画画家,作品有壁画《战争艺术》 及 《和平艺术》 (1893年) 〔hackwork〕Tedious, monotonous, or uninteresting work of any kind.平庸的作品:冗长,单调,令人感到乏味的作品〔Bond〕American songwriter whose works include "I Love You Truly" (1901) and "The End of a Perfect Day" (1910).邦德,卡丽·雅格布斯:(1862-1946) 美国歌曲与歌词作家,他的作品有“真诚爱你”(1901年)和“佳日之末”(1910年)等〔Zanuck〕American motion-picture producer whose works includeThe Jazz Singer (1927), the first feature-length film with sound sequences, The Grapes of Wrath (1940), and Gentlemen's Agreement (1947). 柴纳克,达利尔·弗朗西斯:(1902-1979) 美国电影实业家,作品有第一部有声影片《爵士歌手》 (1927年), 《愤怒的葡萄》 (1940年)和 《君子协定》 (1947年) 〔Patmore〕British poet associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
