| 释义 | 〔fantastic〕fantastic attire; fantastic behavior.怪诞的服装；古怪的举止〔odd〕Deviating from what is ordinary, usual, or expected; strange or peculiar:古怪的：和普通的、通常的或所期望的不同的；奇怪的或古怪的：〔quiz〕Although we do not know the origin of the wordquiz, just as we may not know the answers to all the questions on a quiz,we can say that its first recorded sense has to do with people,not tests.The term, first recorded in 1782,meant "an odd or eccentric person.”From the noun in this sense came a verbmeaning "to make sport or fun of" and "to regard mockingly.”In English dialects and probably in American Englishthe verbquiz acquired senses relating to interrogation and questioning. This presumably occurredbecausequiz was associated with question, inquisitive, or perhaps the English dialect verb quiset, "to question" (probably itself short for obsoleteinquisite, "to investigate"). From this new area of meaning came the noun and verb senses all too familiar to students.The second recorded instance of the noun sense occurs in the writings of no less an educator than William James,who in a December 26, 1867, letter proffers the hopethat "perhaps giving ‘quizzes’ in anatomy and physiology . . . may help along.”虽然我们不知道quiz 这个词的来源， 正象我们可能并不清楚测试中所有问题的答案一样，但我们可以肯定的是这个词最初被记录时的意义与人有关，而不是测试，这个词第一次被记录下来是在1782年，意思为“一个古怪或行为怪诞的人”。从这种意义的名词派生出一个动词，意思为“嘲笑或戏弄…”和“以嘲讽的态度对待”。在英语并且很可能是在美国英语中，quiz 这个动词形成了有关审问或提问的意思， 据猜测，这一现象的发生是因为quiz 使人联想起 question ， inquisitive 或者可能 quiset 这个英国方言中的动词， 意思为“提问”（很可能是inquisite 这个过时用语的缩写形式，意思为“调查”）。 从这个意思中派生出学生们再熟悉不 过的名词和动词意思。记录下这个名词意义的第二个例子恰好出现在教育家威廉·詹姆斯的笔下。在1867年12月26日写的一封信中，他提出一条希望：或许在解剖学和物理学方面进行测试…可能有些独特的帮助。”〔twist〕A personal inclination or eccentricity; a penchant or flaw:古怪的倾向：个人的倾向或怪癖；倾向或缺陷：〔Caliban〕The grotesque, deformed slave in Shakespeare'sThe Tempest. 卡利班：莎士比亚作品风暴 中古怪、丑陋的奴隶 〔ditsy〕Eccentrically scatterbrained or inane:古怪地没有头脑的，愚蠢的：〔pixilated〕Behaving as if mentally unbalanced; very eccentric.疯疯癫癫的，癖的：精神有点失常的；极古怪的〔byword〕The eccentric poet was a byword in literary circles.这个古怪的诗人在文学圈内臭名昭著〔rum〕Odd; strange.古怪的；奇特的〔mask〕A grotesque or comical representation of a face, worn especially to frighten or amuse, as at Halloween.（万圣节带的）面具：古怪的或惹人发笑的面部面具，尤用于唬人或娱乐，如在鬼节时常佩戴的〔caprice〕"This is a time of life when a solicitous family does well to watch affectionately over the vagaries of its unattached relatives,particularly of those who are comfortably off" (J.P.
