| 释义 | 〔artichoke〕Those who have been warned to watch out for the sharp-tipped bracts toward the innermost part of an artichoke may have wondered whether the name of this vegetable has anything to do with choking.Originally it did not.Our word goes back to an Arabic word for the same plant,al-Caršūf. The Arabic word passed into Spanish,a not uncommon occurrence given the fact that Moslems ruled much of Spain for several centuries during the Middle Ages.The Old Spanish wordalcarchofa was variously modified as it passed through Italian, a Northern dialect form beingarticiocco, which looks more like artichoke than al-Caršūf. In English, where the word is first recorded in the early 16th century, a potpourri of spellings and explanations of it are found.For example, people who did not know the long history of the word explained it by the notion that the flower had a "choke,”that is, something that chokes, in its "heart.”那些被告知要当心这种朝鲜蓟的最内层部分的尖苞片的人，可能会猜想这种蔬菜与窒息有一些联系。最初并没有。这个词可以追溯到阿拉伯语言关于这种植物的名称，al-harsuf。 这个阿拉伯名称又传入了西班牙，这件极普通的事情指出，在中世纪时期穆斯林曾统治西班牙大部地区，长达几个世纪的事实。旧的西班牙词alcarchofa 又经历了不同的变化，如传入意大利， 北方方言的形式形成articicco， 这看起来更象 artichoke 而非 al-harsuf。 在英语中，这个词在16世纪初被记录下来时，有许多不同的拼法和解释。例如，不知道这个词的悠久历史的人解释这个词时依据的看法是花会令人“窒息”，也就是说，是一种在它“心中”窒息的东西。〔trite〕 Trite, hackneyed, andshopworn imply overfamiliarity resulting from overuse or repetition; the terms often suggest reduction of something once forceful to an empty formula or cliché: Trite, hackneyed 和shopworn 暗指因为过度使用或重复而导致熟悉了； 这几个词通常暗示曾一度强有力的东西已为成了空洞无味的套式或陈词滥调： 〔peg〕To fasten or plug with a peg or pegs.钉木钉，用木钉钉牢：用一个或几个钉栓锁住或插上〔Glashow〕American physicist. He shared a 1979 Nobel Prize for theorizing that electromagnetism and weak interaction are facets of the same phenomenon.格拉肖，谢尔登·李：(生于 1932) 美国物理学家。他因建立了电磁力学理论和微相互作用是同一现象的几个方面的理论而获1979年的诺贝尔奖〔untouchable〕The class, comprising numerous subclasses, that is excluded from and considered ritually unclean and defiling by the four Hindu classes.贱民；不可接触者：印度的一个种姓，由许多阶层构成，他们被排除在印度的四个种姓之外，并被这几个种姓的人认为是在宗教上不洁的和对人有污损性的〔Monet〕French painter and founder of impressionism who captured on canvas his spontaneous reaction to landscapes and outdoor events. He created several series of paintings, such as theWater Lilies murals (1899-1925), that examine the effect of changing light and atmosphere on a subject. 莫内，克劳德：(1840-1926) 法国画家和印象主义的创始人，他在画布上捕捉大自然的风景和户外的景物并做忠实的反应。他创作了几个绘画系列，如《睡莲》 壁画(1899-1925年），它研究了改变光线与空气给一个主题带来的效果 〔other〕other centuries; other generations.前几个世纪；后代〔Nuba〕A member of any of several peoples inhabiting the hills of south-central Sudan.努巴人：居住在苏丹中南部山区的几个民族的成员〔subtopic〕One of the divisions into which a main topic may be divided.副题：主题被分成的几个部分之一〔sherbet〕The wordsherbet has been in the English language for several centuries (first recorded in 1603) but not as a name for what one normally thinks of as sherbet.The word came into English from Ottoman Turkishsherbet or Persian sharbat, both going back to Arabicšarbah, "drink.” The Turkish and Persian words referred to a beverage of sweetened, diluted fruit juicethat was popular in the Middle East and imitated in Europe.Eventually in Europesherbet came to refer to a carbonated drink. Because the original Middle Eastern drink contained fruit and was often cooled with snow,sherbet was applied to the frozen dessert (first recorded in 1891). It is thus distinguished slightly fromsorbet, which can also mean "a fruit-flavored ice served between courses of a meal.”Sorbet (first recorded in English in 1585) goes back through French ( sorbet ) and then Italian ( sorbetto ) to the same Turkish sherbet that gave us sherbet. 单词sherbet 引入英语语言中已经有几个世纪了（首次记录于1603年）， 但它并不是象人们通常认为的果汁牛奶冻名称。这个单词是由奥斯曼土耳其语sherbet 或波斯语 sharbat 形成英语的， 二者都可回溯到阿拉伯语sarbah ，意为“饮料”。 该词土耳其及波斯语指一种加甜的、稀释的水果汁饮料，它流行于中东并在欧洲被仿制。最后，在欧洲，sherbet 指一种碳酸饮料。 因为最初的中东饮品中包含有水果汁并常用雪冷却，所以sherbet 用于指冰冻甜点（首次记录于1891年）。 这样它与Sorbet 稍有区别， 但也可指“在一顿饭的几道菜之间供应的果味冰”。Sorbet （在英语中首次记录于1585年）通过法语（ sorbet ）和意大利语( sorbetto )可以回溯到向我们提供 sherbet 的相同的土耳其词 sherbet 〔preview〕An advance viewing or exhibition, especially the presentation of several scenes advertising a forthcoming movie; a trailer.预（试）演，预（试）映，预（试）展预告片：预先观看或展览，尤指放映即将公映的影片中的几个镜头以作宣传；（电影，电视等）的预告片〔separate〕To become divided into components or parts:分开：分开成为几个成份或部分：〔stochastic〕Involving or containing a random variable or variables:随机的：包含或涉及一个或几个随机变量的：〔Prague〕The capital and largest city of Czechoslovakia, in the western part of the country on the Vltava River.

Mascot came into English as a borrowing of the French wordmascotte, meaning "mascot, charm.”The English word is first recorded in 1881 shortly after the French word, itself first recorded in 1867,was popularized by the operaLa Mascotte, performed in December 1880. The French word in turn came from the Modern Provençal wordmascoto, "piece of witchcraft, charm, amulet,”a feminine diminutive ofmasco, "witch.” This word can probably be traced back to Late Latinmasca, "witch, specter.”Perhaps a mascot is as powerful as people think;fortunately, it is now in our corner.mascot 这个词通常指能够带来好运的某物或某人， 与其最早来源的几个词的词意相比，这个词所具有的褒义色彩是明显的进步。 Mascot 是借自法语的mascotte， 意思是“符咒，魔力。”该法语词的记录1867年出现不久，就在1881年有了这个英语词汇的最早记录，因1880年12月演出的一出歌剧La Mascotte 而流传开来。 法语中单词来源于现代普罗旺斯语mascoto ， 意思是“女巫的魔法，魔术，护身符”，一个意为“女巫”的masco 的阴性小词。 这个词可能追溯到后期拉丁语的masca ， 意为“女巫，幻象”。或许吉祥物这个词是指象人们想的一样魔力无边；幸运的是，它被我们记录进来了〔together〕The bells rang out together.几个铃同时响了起来〔early〕in the early morning; scored two runs in the early innings.清晨；在前几个回合中就得了两分〔citied〕Having a city or cities.有城市的：有一个或几个城市的〔word〕A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes.词，文字：一种声音或声音的结合，或以书写或印刷为代表，它象征或传达一个意思，也许包含一个词素或几个词素的组合〔algebra〕A generalization of arithmetic in which symbols, usually letters of the alphabet, represent numbers or members of a specified set of numbers and are related by operations that hold for all numbers in the set.代数学：计算的普遍原理，其中通常为字母表中字母的符号，其代表数字或一组特定数字中的几个数字，它们通过对组中全部数字都适合的运算法则相联系〔bring〕The President will take several advisers with him when he goes to Moscow. 总统去莫斯科时要带走几个顾问。 〔device〕A contrivance or an invention serving a particular purpose, especially a machine used to perform one or more relatively simple tasks.设计：为特定的目的而做出的设计或发明，尤指用于完成某个或几个简单的相关的任务的机器〔constrain〕a life that had been constrained by habit to the same few activities and friends.习惯于被束缚在一成不变的几个活动和朋友中的生活〔other〕others The remaining ones of several: others 其余的人：几个中剩余的一些：〔Beethoven〕German composer.
