But we may ask how the verbrattle came to have such a sense. The earliest use of the word is found in a name,Johannes Ratellebagg, recorded in a document of around 1273; the earliest use of the word as a common noun (in the sense "to flap, used of a banner") is found in a work written about 1300and copied in manuscript around 1330.It is thought that the word probably comes from Middle Dutchratelen, which may be imitative in origin. In any case,the wordratelen was used mainly in intransitive senses such as "to make a rattling sound.”Already in Middle English, however, the transitive sense "to babble something" existed,and other transitive senses,as in "to make something rattle,” "to stir up, rouse,” "to drive in a rapid, rattling manner,” came into existence from the 16th century on.The transitive sense "to unnerve,”that is, "to make somebody rattle,” is first found in an American work of 1869.词语用法专题小组中有相当一部分人(百分之八十六)都同意rattle 这个词有“使人不安”的意思, 1969年出版的美国经典辞书 第一版收录了这一意思。 但人们不禁要问动词rattle 为何有了这个意思。 该词最早的使用发现于1273年前后记载的一个文件中的Johannes Ratellebagg 这个名字中; 1300年这个词第一次被用作普通名词(意为“飘扬,用于旗帜”),1330年又见于手抄的印本中。人们认为这个词可能来自原来可能是拟声词的中古德语ratelen 。 不过无论怎样,ratelen 这个词本来只是作为不及物动词来使用, 如发出嘎嘎声等意思。在中古英语中,“含糊不清地说出”这一及物动词的意思就已存在,该词其它的及物意思,如“使发出嘎嘎声”、“激起,唤醒”“嘎嘎响地急速向前拖”从16世纪开始就形成了。及物意思“使不安,”即“使某人惊慌”首先出现于1869年的美国作品中〔crack〕To cause to make a sharp, snapping sound.使发出尖锐的爆裂声〔picayune〕perhaps from Old Provençal piquar [to jingle, clink] 可能源自 古普罗旺斯语 piquar [使发出铃声,叮当作响] 〔sound〕To cause to give forth or produce a sound:使发出或产生声响:〔clunk〕A blow that produces a dull sound.猛击:使发出沉闷声音的猛烈一击〔clunk〕To strike so as to make a dull sound:打击…使发出沉闷声:〔swish〕To cause to make a swishing sound.使发出唰唰(嗖嗖或哗哗等)声〔whang〕To strike so as to produce a loud, reverberant noise.发出打击声:敲击使发出砰砰响亮声〔jingle〕To cause to make a tinkling or ringing metallic sound.使叮当响:使发出叮当或丁零的金属碰撞的声音〔clink〕To make or cause to make a light, sharp ringing sound.(使)叮当作响:发出或使发出轻快、清脆的铃声〔twang〕To cause to make a sharp, vibrating sound:使发出拨弦声:使发出尖锐的颤音:〔knoll〕To ring or sound (a bell, for example) mournfully; knell.鸣丧钟:沉痛哀伤地鸣(如,钟),或使发出哀伤的声音;敲丧钟〔ding〕To cause to clang, as by striking.(如通过打击)使发出铿锵声〔pop〕To cause to explode with a sharp bursting sound:爆裂:使发出尖利的爆炸声:〔clatter〕To cause to make a rattling sound.使发出格格响声〔whoop〕To make the paroxysmal gasp characteristic of whooping cough.哮咳:使发出百日咳般的突发性喘息〔bong〕To cause to sound with a deep ringing noise.洪亮地发声:使发出洪亮的声音〔clack〕To cause to make an abrupt, sharp sound.使发出短促、尖锐的声音〔plink〕To cause to make a soft, sharp, metallic sound; clink.使发出叮铃声:使发出轻的、尖锐的金属质的声音;使叮当作响〔pop〕To cause to make a sharp bursting sound.使发出砰的一声:使发出尖利的爆裂声〔blare〕To cause to sound loudly and stridently:使发出响亮的和刺耳的声音:〔bong〕To make a deep ringing noise.使发出响亮的声音 |
