Our wordfay, "fairy, elf,” the descendant of Middle Englishfaie, "a person or place possessed of magical properties,” and first recorded around 1390,goes back to Old Frenchfae, "fairy,” the same word that has given usfairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar LatinFāta, "the goddess of fate,” from Latin fātum, "fate.” Iffay goes back to fate, so doesfey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestorfǣge meant "fated to die.” The sense we are more familiar with, "magical or fairylike in quality,”seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound betweenfay and fey. fey 和 fay 两词的历史展示了一个十分奇特的巧合。 我们现在所使用的词fay, “神仙，小精灵，” 是中古英语faie, “具有魔力的人或地方”的派生词， 它首次记载于约1390年左右，回溯到古法语fae “神仙”， 这一词产生了我们现在的fairy。 Fae 依次产生于俗拉丁语Fata, “命运女神，”和拉丁语 fatum， “命运。” 如果fay 回到命运的意思， 可以说fey 也是如此， 因为其古英语原形f?ge 的意思即为“注定死亡。” 我们现在更熟悉的意思“性质上具有魔力的或似神仙的”，似乎部分是由于fay 和 fey 在读音上的相似而产生的 〔ironic〕though some Panelists noted that this particular usage might be acceptable if Susie had in fact moved to California in order to find a husband,in which case the story could be taken as exemplifying the folly of supposing that we can know what fate has in store for us).By contrast,73 percent accepted the sentence 虽然一些成员注意到如果苏茜搬到加利福尼亚的目的确是为寻找一位丈夫的话，那么这一句的用法还是可以接受的，因为这个故事可视为代表了这样一种愚行，认为我们能够知道命运为我们保留着什么）。与此形成对照的是，百分之七十三的成员接受了下面这句话 〔twist〕a twist of fate; a story with a quirky twist.命运的扭转；跌宕起伏的故事〔destiny〕The power or agency thought to predetermine events; fate:命运：被认为能预先决定事件的力量或因素；命运：〔destiny〕Destiny brought them together.命运使他们联在一起〔fate〕Unfavorable destiny; doom.宿命：不好的命运；命运〔fatality〕A decree made by fate; destiny.命运：命运使然的天数；命运〔kismet〕Fate; fortune.See Synonyms at fate 命运；运气 参见 fate〔tempt〕Don't tempt fate.不要冒命运的风险〔Sexton〕American poet whose works, including the collectionsLive or Die (1966) and The Death Notebooks (1974), document her struggle with mental illness and her search for faith. 塞克斯汀，安妮：(1928-1974) 美国诗人，著作包括《生与死》 （1966年）和 《死亡笔记》 （1974年），记录了她与精神疾病的斗争和对命运的探索 〔bilk〕"Fate . . . may be to a certain extent bilked"(Thomas Carlyle)“命运…在某种意义上可能受挫折”(托马斯·卡莱尔)〔star〕A planet or constellation of the zodiac believed in astrology to influence personal destiny.命运：占星术中认为能够影响人的命运的黄道行星或星座〔candidate〕One that seems likely to gain a certain position or come to a certain fate:有希望的人选：好象有可能得到某个职位或有某种命运的人：〔consort〕sors [fate] * see ser- 2sors [命运] * 参见 ser- 2〔fate〕deserved a worse fate;得了一个坏命运；〔constellation〕The configuration of planets at the time of one's birth, regarded by astrologers as determining one's character or fate.星宿：在一个人出生时候的行星位置，占星家认为它是决定一个人性格或命运的〔anthropology〕That part of Christian teaching concerning the genesis, nature, and future of human beings:人类学：基督教中述及人类起源、本性及命运的部分： |
