The hero, a shepherd, is supposed to have been the first victim of the disease. Where the nameSyphilus itself came from is not known for certain, but it has been suggested that Fracastoro borrowed the name from Ovid'sMetamorphoses. In Ovid's work Sipylus (spelledSiphylus in some manuscripts) is the oldest son of Niobe, who lived not far from Mount Sipylon in Asia Minor.Fracastoro's poem about Syphilus was modeled on the story of Niobe.Although the etymology involving Sipylus was known to the editors of theOxford English Dictionary, it was not accepted as their last word on the subject.C.T. Onions, one of the dictionary's editors, writing in theOxford Dictionary of English Etymology, says that “ Syphilus [the shepherd's name] is of unkn[own] origin.” Fracastoro went on to use the termsyphilis again in his medical treatise De Contagione, published in 1546. The word that Fracastoro used in Latin was eventually borrowed into English, being first recorded in 1718.1530年,吉罗拉莫·弗拉卡斯特罗,一位医生,天文学家,也是维罗纳的诗人,发表了名为"Syphius, sive Morbus Gallicus"的诗,译作“梅毒,或法国疾病”。在弗拉卡斯特罗的诗中,这种可怕的性病的名字是主人公名字 Syphilus(西弗乐斯) 的变体。 主人公是一名牧羊人,据认为是该病的第一个受害者。 Syphilus(西弗乐斯) 这一名字本身的来源并不明确, 但有人认为弗拉卡斯特罗是从奥维德的变形记 中借用的。 在奥维德的作品中,西皮卢斯(Sipylus)(有些版本写作Siphylus )是尼俄柏的大儿子, 他住在小亚细亚的锡皮劳恩山附近。弗拉卡斯特罗的有关西弗乐斯的诗是以尼俄柏的故事为原型的。尽管牛津英语词典 的编者们知道有关西弗乐斯的词源, 这种词源解释还没有被最终确认下来。该词典的编者之一,C·T·奥尼恩斯在牛津英语词源 中写道“ 西弗乐斯 的词源不详”。 在弗拉卡斯特罗发表于1546年的医学论文传染病 中,他继续用 梅毒 这一词语。 弗拉卡斯特罗用的这一拉丁语词是终被借用进英语,其最早的记录出现于1718年〔uncial〕A style of writing characterized by somewhat rounded capital letters. It provided the model from which most of the capital letters in the modern Latin alphabet are derived.安色尔字体:以圆润的大写字母为特点的字体。大多数现代拉丁字母即以该字体为原型〔umpire〕The anguished, hostile cry "Kill the ump" could have been "kill the nump" had it not been for the linguistic process known as false splitting or juncture loss.In the case ofumpire we can almost see the process in action if we study the Middle English Dictionary entry for noumpere, the Middle English ancestor of our word. Noumpere comes from the Old French nonper, made up ofnon, "not,” and per, "equal,” as is someone who is requested to act as arbiter of a dispute between two people; that is, the arbiter is not paired with one of them.In Middle English the earliest recorded form isnoumper (about 1350). The earliest dated form without ann in the entry is owmpere ( a Middle English variant spelling),in a text composed in 1440.How then was lost can be seen if we compare the sequence a noounpier in a text written in 1426-1427 with the sequence an Oumper from a text written probably around 1475. Then of noumpere became attached to the indefinite article, giving usan instead of a and, eventually,umpire instead of .numpire. 要不是因为被称为假分裂或失去连音的语言学过程,"Kill the ump"(杀掉裁判)这样痛苦,仇恨的呐喊可能会成为"kill the nmup"。在umpire 这一例子中,如果我们研究一下 中古英语词典 中 noumpere 这一词条,即该词在中古英语中的原型,便会了解这一语言学现象的过程。 Noumpere 来自于古法语 nonper, 由non, “不”,和 per, “平等的”组成,表示一个应要求就两人之间的争议做出仲裁的人; 也就是说,不与任何一人合作的公断人。中古英语的最先记录形式是noumper (约1350年)。 词条中没有n 的最早形式是 owmpere ( 中古英语的变体拼写),出现于1440年所做的一篇文章。通过比较两个顺序可以看出n 是我们被省略的:一个是 a noounpier ,出现于写于1426年至1427年间的一篇文章;另一个是 an Oumper 摘自可能写于1475年的文章。 noumpere 中的 n 变得和不定冠词连在一起, 成为an 而非 n , 最后就出现了umpire 而不是 ·numpire 〔archetype〕An original model or type after which other similar things are patterned; a prototype:原型:原始模型或型式,根据其形状仿制了其它类似事物;原型:〔archetype〕“‘Frankenstein’ . . . ‘Dracula’ . . . ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ . . . the archetypes that have influenced all subsequent horror stories"(New York Times)“‘弗兰肯斯坦’…‘德秋拉’…‘杰基尔博士和海德先生’影响了所有继之而来的恐怖故事的原型”(纽约时报)〔nitinol〕An alloy of nickel and titanium that has the ability to return to a predetermined shape when heated.镍钛记忆合金:镍钛合金,具有加热后能恢复原型的能力〔idea〕In the philosophy of Plato, an archetype of which a corresponding being in phenomenal reality is an imperfect replica.理念:柏拉图哲学中的一种原型,它在现实物质世界中有一个并不完美的复制品〔truth〕Fidelity to an original or a standard.忠实,忠诚:对原型或标准的忠实〔protoplast〕One that is the first made or formed; a prototype.原形物:最先做成或形成的;原型〔pattern〕A model or an original used as an archetype.原型,典型:被公认为原型的模型或原物 |
