According to theOxford English Dictionary, the word swanny derives from the dialect of the North of England: Is' wan ye, "I shall warrant ye.” 一个新英格兰人表示惊讶时会说“嗯,我发誓!” 这个听起来有些古老的词实际上是vow 这个动词的变体, 它可以上溯到美国独立战争时期。也可以仅用"Vum!"(“发誓!”) 或作为过去分词: "I'll be vummed!"(“我可以发誓!”) 南方相同的词是Swanny, 也是“发誓”的意思: Now, I swanny!(现在,我起誓!) 按照牛津英语字典, swanny 一词由北英格兰方言派生而来: Is' wan ye, “我向你保证” 〔vow〕To make a pledge or threat to undertake:立誓要做:发誓或威胁去从事:〔Trappist〕A member of the main, reformed branch of Cistercian monks, characterized by austerity and a vow of silence, established in 1664 at La Trappe Monastery in northwest France.特拉比斯教会的修道士:经过改革的天主教西妥修道会的主要一支的成员,以苦行和发誓沉默为特征,1664年建立于法国西北部的拉特拉比斯修道院〔tell〕He promised not to tell on his friend.他发誓不告诉他的朋友〔fidelity〕swore fealty to the laws and Constitution of the United States.发誓绝对遵守和支持美利坚合众国的法律及宪章。〔promise〕vowed they would never surrender. 发誓他们将永不投降 〔vote〕from Latin vōtum [from neuter past participle of] vovēre [to vow] 源自 拉丁语 vōtum 源自vovēre的中性过去分词 [发誓] 〔promise〕To make a declaration assuring that something will or will not be done.发誓:做一项保证某事将会或将不会被做的宣布〔devote〕"I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people" (Franklin D.
