Greekorgia, "secret rites, worship,” also comes from the rootwerg-, by way of the form.worg-. The Greek word was used with reference to the worship and the ritespracticed in the worship of various deities,such as Orpheus and Dionysus.The word in Greek did not denote sexual activity,although this was a part of some of the various rites.The rites of Dionysus, for example, included only music, dancing, drinking, and the eating of animal sacrifices.Having passed through Latin and Old French into Englishthe wordorgy is first recorded in English with reference to the secret rites of the Greek and Roman religions in 1589. It is interesting to note that the word is first recorded with its modern sense in 18th-century English and perhaps in 17th-century French.Whether this speaks to a greater licentiousness in society or not must be left to the historian,but certainly the religious nature of the word has gone into eclipse.单词orgy 已经以不加节制的性行为的概念深植于我们许多人的头脑之中, 但它的原意却并非是很放荡的。我们可以追溯该词到印欧的词根werg- 当中, 意思是“做”,并且是我们work 一词的来源。 希腊语orgia, “秘密仪式,崇拜”, 也来源于词根werg-, 形式为worg- 。 希腊语中用其指崇拜以及一些仪式,这些仪式用于表达对各神明的崇拜,比如俄耳甫斯和狄俄尼索斯。该词在希腊语中并不是表示性行为,尽管性行为也是各种仪式中的一个部分。例如,狄俄尼索斯的仪式中仅仅包括音乐、舞蹈、饮酒和吃祭祀动物。从拉丁语和古法语转到英语,orgy 这一词在1589年首次在英文有记载表示希腊和罗马秘密宗教仪式含义。 有趣的是,该词早在18世纪也许17世纪就已有其现代意义的首次记载了。不论它是不是指社会中的一种大型的狂欢节(这是历史学家的事了),有一点是非常明确的,那就是这个词的宗教本质已经逐渐消失了〔mall〕A large, often enclosed shopping complex containing various stores, businesses, and restaurants usually accessible by common passageways.商业集合体:一种大型的,常是封闭的复杂商业区,区里包括许多商店、商业企业以及餐馆,它们通常都带有步行道以供出入〔polytene〕Relating to or having large, multistranded chromosomes whose corresponding chromomeres are in contact.(染色体)多线性的:关于或具有大型的多束染色体的,它与其相对应的染色体相接触〔inflatable〕A large helium or hot-air balloon constructed so as to resemble a figure or an object when inflated.大型气球:大型的填充氦气或热气的气球,充满气后模拟某个形象或物体〔nymphalid〕Any of various medium to large butterflies of the family Nymphalidae, found worldwide and characterized by vestigial forelegs and often brilliant coloring.蛱蝶:随处可见的中到大型的蛱蝶科蝴蝶,其特点是有退化的前腿,一般色彩鲜艳〔turkey〕A large North American bird(Meleagris gallopavo) that has brownish plumage and a bare, wattled head and neck and is widely domesticated for food. 火鸡,吐绶鸡:一种大型的北美洲鸟(吐绶鸡) ,羽毛呈古铜色,头颈赤裸、有垂肉,一般家养作食物用 〔offer〕The impresario will present an expanded series of concerts next season.下个季节将举办一次大型的系列音乐会。〔prosecutorial〕"a huge investigative and prosecutorial effort"(Lucian K.

Regional American speech shares this figurative sense and makes it even more specific.In New Englandugly as applied to animals, especially large farm animals such as cows and horses, means "balky, hard to manage.”In the South, on the other hand,ugly with the specific sense of "rude" is used of persons: Don't be ugly, son. Interestingly, the wordclever (senses 4 through 6) follows the same regional pattern as ugly : in New England the specialized senses refer to animals; in the South, to persons.形容词ugly 的标准的意思在的表达 坏脾气 中变得借喻性了。 美国的地区性语言中都有这种比喻性意义并且使它更加具体化。在新英格兰ugly 被用于动物, 尤其是大型的家畜,如奶牛和马,其意思是“不好,很难控制”。在南部,另一方面,ugly 被用于人的具体意思为“粗鲁的”: 孩子,不要那么粗鲁。 有意思的是,单词clever (释义4到6)有着和 ugly 一样地方性形式: 在新英格兰,特指的意思用于动物;在南方用于人〔hellgrammite〕The large, brownish aquatic larva of the dobsonfly, often used as fishing bait. Also called dobson ,snake doctor 具角鱼蛉:一种大型的,褐色蛇蜻蜓的水生幼虫,常用作钓饵 也作 dobson,snake doctor〔tarantula〕A large wolf spider(Lycosa tarentula) of southern Europe, once thought to cause tarantism. 大狼蛛:一种产于欧洲南部的大型的狼蛛(舞蛛 毒蜘蛛属) ,过去曾被认为是导致蜘蛛舞蹈症的原因 〔critter〕Critter, a pronunciation spelling of creature, actually reflects a pronunciation that would have been very familiar to Shakespeare:16th- and 17th-century English had not yet begun to pronounce the-ture suffix with its modern (ch) sound. This archaic pronunciation still exists in regional Americancritter and in Irishcreature, pronounced (krāʹtŭr) and used in the same senses as the American regionalism. The most common meaning ofcritter is "a living creature,” whether wild or domestic; it also can mean "a child" when used as a term of sympathetic endearment,or it can mean "an unfortunate person.”In old-fashioned regional speech,critter and beast denoted a large domestic animal. The more restricted senses "a cow,” "a horse,” or "a mule" are still characteristic of the speech in specific regions of the United States.The use ofcritter among younger speakers almost always carries with it a jocular or informal connotation. Critter 是 creature 这一词的发音拼法, 实际上反映了一种莎士比亚极其通晓的发音法:16和17世纪的英语中还没有开始用现代英语中的(ch)音来发-ture 这一后缀的音。 这一古发音法仍存在于地区性美语critter 中, 而且在爱尔兰语中creature (kra'tur)的发音和用法与地区性美语相同。 critter 这一词的最通用的意思是“生物”,无论是野生的还是家养的; 作为昵称时,它可以作“小孩”解释;它还可以指“一个不幸运的人”。在老式的地区性语言中,critter 和 beast 意指大型的家畜。 它的更狭窄的含义“牛”、“马”或“驴”则仍然是美国某些特定地区的方言中的特有含义。年轻人对于critter 的用法则几乎总认为是带有恢谐或非正式的含义 〔jetliner〕A large passenger jet airplane.大型的喷气式客机〔Veronese〕Italian painter of the Venetian school. His large, richly colored, harmonious works includeRape of Europa (1576). 韦罗内塞,保罗:(1528-1588) 意大利威尼斯画派的画家。他的大型的色彩华丽而调和的作品包括有《欧罗巴的受辱》 (1576年) 〔caravan〕A large covered vehicle; a van.有篷卡车:大型的有盖的车;有盖的货车〔tarpon〕Any of several fishes of the family Elopidae or Megalopidae, especially a large silvery game fish(Megalops atlanticus) of Atlantic coastal waters. 大海鲢:任一种属于海鲢或大海鲢科的鱼类,尤指大西洋沿岸水域所产的一种大型的银白色食用鱼(大西洋大海鲢) 〔mainframe〕A large, powerful computer, often serving several connected terminals.主机,大型机:大型的、强大的计算机,经常为几台相互连接的终端服务〔supermarket〕A large self-service retail market that sells food and household goods.超级市场:大型的自助式零售市场,出售食物及家用物品〔crow〕Any of several large, glossy, black birds of the genusCorvus, having a characteristic raucous call, especially C. brachyrhynchos of North America. 鸦:任一种鸦 属的大型的、亮黑色鸟类,能发出嘶哑的特有叫声,尤指生活于北美洲的 短嘴鸦 |
