It is possible that it goes back to the Latin wordōscillum, a diminutive ofōs, "mouth,” meaning "small mouth.” In a passage in theGeorgics, Virgil applies the word to a small mask of Bacchus hung from trees to move back and forth in the breeze.From this wordōscillum may have come another word ōscillum, meaning "something, such as a swing, that moves up and down or back and forth.”And thisōscillum was the source of the verb ōscillāre, "to ride in a swing,” and the noun (from the verb) ōscillātio, "the action of swinging or oscillating.” The words have given us, respectively, our verboscillate, first recorded in 1726, and our noun oscillation, first recorded in 1658. The next time one sees something oscillating,one might think of that small mask of Bacchus swinging from a pine tree in the Roman countryside.当我们了解了与oscillate 有关的传说时，这个较为枯燥的词就会变得不那么干巴巴的了。 此词可被追溯到一个拉丁词oscillum， 可简写成os， “嘴”，意为“小嘴”。 在农事诗集 的一节中， 维吉尔用这个词指挂在树上在微风中来回摆动的酒神巴克斯的小假面具。从oscillum 一词可以得出另一词 oscillum， 指“前后或上下摆动的某物，如秋千。”而这里的oscillum 便是意为“在秋千上摆动”的动词 oscillare 和意为“摆动或摇动的动作”的名词（从动词来） oscillatio 的词源。 从这些单词中分别得出了我们今天所用的动词oscillation （首次记录于1726年）和名词 oscillation （首次记录于1658年）。 以后若看见物体在摆动，就很可能会想起古罗马乡间一棵松树上摇来晃去的巴克斯的小假面具了〔perch〕A raven perched high in the pine.渡鸦高高地栖息在树上〔sleet〕A thin icy coating that forms when rain or sleet freezes, as on trees or streets.雨凇：雨或冻雨冻结时形成的薄薄的冰外壳，如在树上或街道上〔sloth〕Any of various slow-moving, arboreal, edentate mammals of the family Bradypodidae of South and Central America, having long hooklike claws by which they hang upside down from tree branches and feeding on leaves, buds, and fruits, especially:树懒：生活在美洲中部和南部的树懒科哺乳动物之一，移动缓慢，栖息在树上，无齿目，爪子长而有钩，它们用爪子倒悬在树枝上，吃树叶、嫩芽和果实，尤指：〔laugh〕parrots laughing and chattering in the trees.鹦鹉在树上欢唱着〔blaze〕To indicate (a trail) by marking trees with blazes.在树上刻痕指示（道路）〔drill〕drills holes in trees with its chisellike bill.用凿子一样的啄在树上打洞 |
