| 释义 | 〔firm〕In these days of agribusiness,a farm and a firm are probably closer than they have been since the time before the wordsfarm and firm developed from the same Latin word, firmāre, "to strengthen, make fast, confirm, attest,” which is derived from Latinfirmus, the source offirm, meaning "secure.” In Medieval Latinfirmāre came to mean "to ratify by signature,” from which sense eventually came our word firm, first recorded in 1574 with the meaning "signature.”This wordfirm later added the senses "designation under which a firm transacts business" and "commercial house.” Latinfirmāre by way of Old French also gave us Middle English ferme, the ancestor of our wordfarm. 大农场经营年代，农场和商行也许比在farm 和 firm 从同一拉丁语 firmare， 意为“加强，使牢固，使确定，使证明”发展来之前联系更为紧密， 它是从拉丁词firmus 派生而来， 即firm 一词的来源，意为“确定的”。 在中世纪拉丁语中，firmare 开始取意为“用签名来批准，”从此含义出发，最终有了我们的 firm 这个词， 1574年它首次被记录下来，意为“签名”。Firm 这个词后来增加了两个含义，“商行借以办理事务的名称”和“经商的房屋。” 拉丁词firmare 也通过古法语给了我们中世纪英语 ferme 这个词， 它是我们的单词farm 的前身 〔peekaboo〕A game for amusing a small child, in which one covers one's face or hides and then returns to view saying "Peekaboo!”躲猫猫，躲迷藏：一种把脸遮起来或藏起来，然后又跑出去对着孩子说“皮克布”借以逗小孩的游戏〔paternity〕Of or relating to a lawsuit brought by a woman attempting to establish that a particular man is the father of her child and so must provide the child with financial support:父系血缘之诉讼的：起诉的，与诉讼有关的，女人借以试图确认某一男子是她的孩子的父亲并从而要求男方向小孩提供经济支持：〔whereby〕In accordance with which; by or through which.与…一致；通过…，借以〔understanding〕The faculty by which one understands; intelligence.See Synonyms at reason 理解力：某人借以理解的能力；理解力 参见 reason〔villus〕One of the fingerlike projections of the chorion that contribute to the formation of the placenta in mammals.羊膜绒毛：绒毛膜的分支突起，借以形成哺乳动物的胎盘〔Herod〕King of Judea (40-4) who, according to the New Testament, attempted to kill the infant Jesus by ordering the death of all children under the age of two in Bethlehem.希律：犹太王（公元前40-4年），据《新约》讲，他命令杀死伯利恒所有两岁以下的儿童，想借以杀死尚处于襁褓中的耶稣〔catharsis〕A release of emotional tension, as after an overwhelming experience, that restores or refreshes the spirit.精神发泄：紧张情绪的宣泄，如在心力交瘁的经历过后借以重蓄或恢复精神 |
