单词 | 埋伏 |
释义 | 〔ambuscade〕To attack suddenly and without warning from a concealed place; ambush.See Synonyms at ambush 埋伏:未加警告便从隐蔽处突然袭击;伏击 参见 ambush〔ambush〕The act of lying in wait to attack by surprise.埋伏:埋伏着,等待进行出其不意的袭击的行为〔ambush〕The hiding place used for this.伏击点:为埋伏而隐蔽的地点〔fear〕Old Englishfǣr, the ancestor of our word fear, meant "calamity, disaster,”but not the emotion engendered by such an event.This is in line with the meaning of the prehistoric Common Germanic word.fēraz, "danger,” which is the source of words with similar senses in other Germanic languages,such as Old Saxon and Old High Germanfār, "ambush, danger,” and Old Icelandic fār, "treachery, damage.” Scholars, in fact, have determined the form and meaning of Germanic.fēraz by working backward from the forms and the meanings of its descendants. The most important cause of the change of meaning in the wordfear was probably the existence in Old English of the related verb fǣran, which meant "to terrify, take by surprise.” Fear is first recorded in Middle English with the sense "emotion of fear" in a work composed around 1290.古英语f?r 是 fear 的前身, 意为“不幸,灾难”,而不是因不幸或灾难引起的情绪。这符合史前普通日耳曼词feraz 的意思“危险的”, 是其他日耳曼语言中有相近意思的词的起源,如古撒克逊语和古高地德语far, “埋伏,危险,”和古冰岛语 far “挖掘,破坏”。 事实上,学者们已经通过对它的衍生词的形式和意思的反向研究决定德语feraz 的形式和意思。 引起词语fear 变化的最重要原因可能是古英语中相关动词 f?ran的存在, 意为“害怕,被惊奇抓住。” Fear 第一次在中世纪英语作为“害怕的情绪”被记录下来是在一部约1290年左右创作的作品中〔Putnam〕American Revolutionary soldier who organized the batteries on Dorchester Heights that forced the British to evacuate Boston (1775).普特南,鲁富斯:(1738-1824) 美国独立战争时的士兵,他组织炮兵埋伏在多切斯特山,并迫使英军从波士顿撤退(1775年)〔couch〕To lie in ambush or concealment; lurk.隐蔽,埋伏:潜伏或隐蔽时躺下;埋伏〔insidious〕from īnsidiae [ambush] 源自 īnsidiae [埋伏] 〔forestall〕from forestal [highway robbery, ambush] 源自 forestal [大道抢劫,埋伏] |
