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 〔edge〕edged the quilt with fanciful embroidery.棉被边缘被镶上奇特的镶边〔curio〕A curious or unusual object of art or piece of bric-a-brac.古董：奇特的或异常的艺术品或一种古玩〔outlandish〕Conspicuously unconventional; bizarre.See Synonyms at strange 奇特的：明显异常的；稀奇古怪的 参见 strange〔portentous〕Full of unspecifiable significance; exciting wonder and awe:怪异的；奇特的和敬畏的：〔freaky〕Strange or unusual; freakish.奇怪或不正常的；奇特的〔prodigy〕An act or event so extraordinary or rare as to inspire wonder.See Synonyms at wonder 奇观，奇迹：奇特的或罕见的引起人们惊叹的事件或行为 参见 wonder〔grotesquery〕The state of being grotesque; grotesqueness.奇特、怪诞：奇形怪状的状态；奇特〔he〕Beginning early in the 20th century, however,the traditional usage has come under increasing criticismfor reflecting and perpetuating gender discrimination. ·Defenders of the traditional usage have argued that the masculine pronounshe, his, and him can be used generically to refer to men and women. This analysis of the generic use ofhe is linguistically doubtful.Ifhe were truly a gender-neutral form, we would expect that it could be used to refer to the members of any group containing both men and women.But in fact the English masculine form is an odd choice when it refers to a female member of such a group.There is something plainly disconcerting about sentences such as 可是从20世纪早期起，传统用法不断受到指责，因为它反映并长久维持性别歧视。传统用法辩护者认为阳性代词he，his 和 him 可以用来指代男人和女人的总称。 有关he 的属性用法的分析， 从语言学角度上来说，是有疑问的。如果he 果真是一个中性形式， 我们猜想它可以用来指代任何包含有男人和女人的群体中的成员。但事实上，在英语中用阳性形式来指代上述一群体中的女性成员构成一种很奇特的选择。如下面这个句子中明显存在使人困窘之处： 〔semblable〕unfamiliar symbols semblable to religious icons.类似宗教圣像的奇特的符号〔mix〕"a mix of mean streets and the grandest boulevards—no other place in Paris is as eclectic and eccentric . . . as the 17th"(Jean Rafferty)“简陋的街道与最豪华的巴黎林荫大道共存，巴黎市中没有其它地方能象十七区这样风格多样而奇特”(简·拉夫尔蒂)〔portentous〕"Such a portentous and mysterious monster roused all my curiosity"(Herman Melville)“这样奇特而神秘的巨怪引起我强烈的兴趣”(赫尔曼·梅尔维尔)〔damned〕There are many regional variants, mostly euphemisms, fordamned, both as an oath and as a mild intensive. Southern exclamations and intensives tend to begin withdad-, a euphemism for "god"—hencedadblamed, dadblasted, dadburn, and dadgum. Dadgum can be combined withit in the interjection dadgummit. Another such euphemism is the better knowndoggone, probably originally Southern but now widespread.Likedadgum, doggone is used as a mild intensive: "The best doggone deals in Alabama" (billboard in Montgomery). Doggone likewise appears in phrasal interjections: Doggonit, I dropped my hammer. A common regional variant ofdamned is durn, also euphemistic and relatively mild,as in this snatch of Baltimore dialogue: "If that's not just the weirdest durn thing I ever laid eyes on" (Anne Tyler).作为诅咒和轻度的加强语气词，damned 有许多宗教上的替换形式，其中大多为委婉语。 南方人的感叹词和加强语气词倾向于以dad- 作为开始， “上帝”的一种委婉说法——因而出现dadblamed，dadblasted，dadburn 和 dadgum。 Dadgum 在感叹词dadgummit 中，可与 it 结合在一起。 另一个这样的委婉词比doggone 知道的人更多， 可能最初为南方人使用而现在已普遍应用了。象dadgum，daggone 被用作轻度的加强语气词： “亚拉巴马最好的交易” （蒙哥马利的大型广告牌）。 Daggone 同样也出现在短语感叹词： 他妈的，我弄掉了锤子。 dammed 是 durn 的一个常见局部性的变体， 它也是一个委婉语且相对较轻，正如巴尔的摩的几句对话中出现的： 如果那不是最奇特的东西，我绝不会看一眼的 （安妮·泰勒）〔freakish〕freakish weather; a freakish combination of styles.奇怪的天气；奇特风格的组合〔fantastic〕a fanciful pattern with intertwined vines and flowers. Somethingexotic is unusual and intriguing in appearance or effect: 由缠结的葡萄藤和花构成的奇特图案。 Exotic 形容在外表或印象上不平常或吸引人的： 〔absquatulate〕The vibrant energy of American English sometimes appears in the use of Latin affixes to create jocular pseudo-Latin "learned" words.There is a precedent for this in the language of Shakespeare,whose plays contain scores of made-up Latinate words.Midlandabsquatulate has a prefix ab-, "away from,” and a suffix-ate, "to act upon in a specified manner,” affixed to a nonexistent base form-squatul-, probably suggested bysquat. Hence the whimsicalabsquatulate, "to squat away from.” Another such coinage is Northernbusticate, which joins bust with -icate by analogy with verbs like medicate. Southernargufy joins argue to a redundant -fy, "to make; cause to become.” These creations are largely confined to regions of the United States where change is slow,and where the 19th-century love for Latinate words and expressions is still manifest.For example, Appalachian speech is characterized by the frequent use ofrecollect, aggravate, oblige, and other such words. 美国英语的创造力有时表现在用拉丁文词缀去创造滑稽的假拉丁文“文雅”的单词。莎士比亚的语言是一先行者，他的戏剧中有大量创造出来的拉丁词。中部地区的absquatulate 有一前缀 ab-， 表“离开，走开，” 和一个后缀-ate， 表“以特殊方式行事，” 这些再加在一个不存在的词根上-squatul-， 也许是由squat 而来的。 所以奇特的absquatulate 表“走开，离开。” 另外一个这样的造词是从北部的busticate 来的，这是把 bust 加上 -icate 变来的，如同源动词 medicate。 南部的argufy 把 argue 加上多余的 -fy， 意为“变成；使成为”。 这种造词只见于美国变化较慢的地区，在那儿仍保持了19世纪那种喜好拉丁语词语的习惯。比如在阿巴拉契亚地区的语言中，如同recollect，aggravate，oblige 和其他这样一些词经常被使用的 〔monster〕A creature having a strange or frightening appearance.外表奇特或恐怖的动物〔sight〕Remarkable; incredible:奇特的；不可置信的：〔Fragonard〕French artist best known for his rococo paintings of exotic landscapes and love scenes.弗拉戈纳尔，简·奥诺：(1732-1806) 法国艺术家，以他的表现奇特风景和情爱场面的洛可可式油画最为著名〔peculiarity〕The quality or state of being peculiar.奇特，古怪：具有特别的性质或状态〔animal〕A person having a specified aptitude or set of interests:与众不同的人，奇特的事物：具有独特才能和兴趣爱好的人：〔marvelous〕Causing wonder or astonishment.令人惊奇的或奇特的〔freakish〕Markedly unusual or abnormal; strange:奇特的：明显不寻常或反常的；奇怪的： |
