| 释义 | 〔taxi〕"Taxi" is much easier to yell into the traffic thantaximeter cabriolet, the form from which taxi has ultimately been shortened. Taximeter comes from the French word taximètre, ultimately derived from Medieval Latintaxāre, "to tax,” and the French combining form -metre. Taximètre originally meant, as did its English companion, "a device for measuring distance traveled,” but this device was soon adapted to measure waiting time and compute and indicate the fare as well.Taximeter, first recorded in English in 1898 (an earlier form, taxameter, borrowed through French from German, was recorded in 1894), joined forces withcab, a shortening (1827) of cabriolet, "a two-wheeled, one-horse carriage.” This word, first found in English in 1766,came from Frenchcabriolet, of the same meaning, which in turn was derived fromcabriole, "caper,” because the vehicle moves along with a springing motion.Cab, the shortened form, was applied to other vehicles as well, including eventually public conveyances.Fitted with a taximeter, such a vehicle,first horse-drawn and then motorized,was known as ataxameter cab (1899), a taximeter cab (1907), and a taxicab (1907), among other names, includingtaxi (1907), a shortening of eithertaximeter or taxicab. Interestingly enough,the fullest form possible,taximeter cabriolet, is not recorded until 1959."Taxi"比taximeter cabriolet （最终缩写成 taxi 的形式）更容易在交通中叫出。 Taximeter 来源于法语 taximètre ， 它最早来自中世纪拉丁文taxare （“征税”）和法语复合形式 -metre。 Taximètre（与它的英语同伴一样，最初意为“测量行驶距离的设备”）， 这一设备很快适合于测量等待时间并计算和显示车费。Taximeter 在英语中首次记载于1898年（更早的形式 taxameter 是从德语通过法语借来的，记载于1894年）， 同cabriolet （“一种双轮双马马车”）的缩写形式(1827年） cab 结合。 这一单词最早于1766年在英语中发现，来源于具有同一种意思的法语cabriolet ， 它依次来源于cabride （“跳跃”）， 因为这种车辆移动时有跳跃的运动；缩写形式cab 还可以适用于其它的车辆， 包括最终的公共运输工具；被安装了自动计费器的车辆，开始是马拉的，后来装上马达，被称作taxameter cab (1899年）、 taximeter cab (1907年）和 taxicab (1901年）。 在其它的名称中包括taxi (1907年）， 它是taximeter 或 taxicab 的缩写形式。 非常有趣的是，可能是最全的形式的taximeter cabriolet ， 直到1959年才有记载〔cabriolet〕A two-wheeled, one-horse carriage that has two seats and a folding top.单马双轮轻便车：一种双轮单马马车，有两张座位和可折叠的篷顶〔curule〕from currus [chariot] 源自 currus [双轮无蓬马车] 〔curricle〕A light, open, two-wheeled carriage, drawn by two horses abreast.双轮轻马车：一种轻便的敞篷二轮马车，用两匹马并辔牵拉〔car〕Middle English carre [cart] 中古英语 carre [双轮或四轮马车] 〔tilbury〕A light, two-wheeled, open carriage with two seats, used in the 19th century.轻便双轮马车：一种用于19世纪有两个座位的双轮敞篷轻便马车〔tumbrel〕A two-wheeled cart, especially a farmer's cart that can be tilted to dump a load.双轮运货车：一种双轮的小车，尤指农民使用的，可以翻卸货物的小车〔trap〕A light two-wheeled carriage with springs.双轮轻便马车：一种装有弹簧的两轮轻便马车〔gig〕A light, two-wheeled carriage drawn by one horse.轻便双轮马车：由一匹马拉的双轮轻便马车〔Auriga〕Latin aurīga [charioteer, Auriga] * see ōs- 拉丁语 aurīga [双轮或四轮马车之御者，御夫座] * 参见 ōs- |
