Ravel comes from the obsolete Dutch verbravelen, "to tangle, fray out, unweave,” which comes in turn from the nounravel, "a loose thread.” We can see the ambiguity ofravel already in the notion of a loose thread, because threads can be loose when they are tangled or when they are untangling.The Dutch verb has both notions present in it,denoting both tangling and unweaving.In one of its earliest recorded uses in English (before 1585)the verb means "to become entangled or confused,”and in 1598 we find a use in the sense "to entangle.”But in 1611 the word is used with reference to a fabricin the sense "to fray out,”and in 1607 in the sense "to unwind, unweave, or unravel.”In 1582 we already have an author using the word in a figurative way to mean "to take to pieces or disentangle,”while in a work written before 1656 we have a figurative instance of the sense "to entangle or confuse.”Clearly there was a need for the wordunravel, which is first found in 1603, but strangely enoughit did not solve the problem,ravel retaining up to this day both "entangling" and "disentangling" senses. 说我们要解开ravel 这个词的历史， 只要“历史”的意思不变，这种说法本来就是含糊的。 Ravel 这个词来源于意为“纠缠，磨损掉，解开”的废荷兰语动词ravelen， 而这个词又是从意为“一束松线”的名词ravel 衍生而来的。 在这个意思中，我们已经能看到ravel 的双重意思， 因为一团线缠起来或被解开后都有可能松散。荷兰语的这个词两个意思都有，既指缠起来又指松开。 (1585年前）这个词在英语中第一次使用时，它是“变得纠缠在一起、和含混不清”的意思，1598年我们又发现了“使缠在一起”的意思。但1611年当这个词用于指纺织品时，它却是“使散开”的意思，1607年它的意思是“倒转，松开，打开。”1582年有一位作家已经使用这个词的比喻义“散成一片片或分开”，而在一部写于1656年前的著作中，又有“缠紧，弄混”的比喻意义。毫无疑问，出现于1603年的unravel 这个词有必要的存在， 但非常奇怪的是,这并没有解决ravel 这个词直到现在还有“缠紧”和“分开”这两个意思 〔waffle〕Evasive or vague speech or writing.无聊的话：胡乱或含糊的话或写的东西〔nebulous〕nebulous assurances of future cooperation.对未来合作的含糊的保证〔murky〕Lacking clarity or distinctness; cloudy or obscure.模糊的：不清楚的或者不明显的；含糊的或者朦胧的〔Delphic〕Obscurely prophetic; oracular:含糊的：隐晦的；预言的：〔mean〕"No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous"(Henry Adams)“没有人说出的话全都是他的本意，而极少有人能把自己的本意全部说出来，因为文字的表达可以很含糊，而人的思想可以停滞”(亨利·亚当斯)〔murmur〕To complain in low mumbling tones; grumble.低声抱怨：用低微含糊的语调抱怨；发牢骚〔absolutely〕For some time,absolutely has been used informally as a vague intensive, as inan absolutely magnificent painting. In an earlier survey, a majority of the Usage Panel disapproved of this usage in formal writing.有时候，absolutely 曾被非正式地作为含糊的强调成分而使用， 比如在一幅无与伦比的绘画 中。 在早期的调查中，大部分用法小组的成员不主张在正式书面语中这样使用〔obscure〕Not clearly understood or expressed; ambiguous or vague:模糊的，难解的：没有被清晰地理解或表达地；模糊的或含糊的：〔euphemism〕The act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive:委婉，委婉的说法：用一个适度的、不直接的、含糊的词来取代一个令人感到粗鲁的、过于率直、具有冒犯性的词：〔nameless〕Unknown by name; obscure:不明的；含糊的：〔deep〕Of a mysterious or obscure nature:神秘的：不可思议的，含糊难解的：〔opaque〕"opaque, elusive, minimal meanings"(John Simon)“不清楚，含糊，难以明白的意思”(约翰·西蒙)〔diaphanous〕Vague or insubstantial:模糊的：含糊或模模糊糊的：〔razzmatazz〕Ambiguous or evasive language; double talk.不实之言：含糊或避开正题的言语；有双重意思的话〔murmur〕To make a low, continuous, indistinct sound or succession of sounds.发出很小的声音：发出一种或者一系列的低微、连续、含糊的声音〔problematic〕Not settled; unresolved or dubious:未知的；未解决或含糊的： |
