单词 | 口吐白沫 |
释义 | 〔berserk〕When we say that we are going berserk,we may not realize how extreme a state this might be.Our adjective comes from the nounberserker, or berserk, which is from the Old Norse wordberserkr, "a wild warrior or champion.” Such warriors wore hides of bears,which explains the probable origins ofberserkr as a compound of .bera, "bear,” and serkr, "shirt, coat.” Theseberserkers became frenzied in battle, howling like animals, foaming at the mouth, and biting the edges of their iron shields.Berserker is first recorded in English in the early 19th century, long after these wild warriors ceased to exist. 当我们说我们正变得狂暴时,我们可能不知道这种状况会有多严重。形容词源自名词berserker 或 beserk , 这两个词都来自古老的斯堪的纳维亚语berserkr, 意思是“狂野的斗士”。 这些斗士身穿熊皮,也许这可以解释berserkr 这个词的来源是 bera “熊”和 serkr “衬衫,外套”这两个词的组合。 这些berserkers 在战斗中表现狂暴, 象动物一样吼叫,口吐白沫,口咬铁护甲。Berserker 于19世纪初首次出现于英语文字中,那已是狂暴斗士消失很久以后了 |
