The English verbchaperon, "to be a chaperon,” is first recorded in Jane Austen'sSense and Sensibility, begun in 1796 as a sketch called "Elinor and Marianne"and published as a novel in 1811.中学舞会上的年长监护者似乎与英语词chaperon 的最初含义关系极微,(当时其意为“鹰的羽冠”), 与后来该词的意思“年轻单身女子的伴护人”,关系也不甚大。“鹰的羽冠”的意思,最初见于作于1400年以前的一个中古英语文本,反映了这个古法语词chaperon 的最初的“羽冠”的含义。 为了理解为什么我们所用的chaperon 一词具有了“女伴护人”的意思, 我们需要知道法语中表示“覆以羽冠”意思的动词chaperonner 是从 chaperon 派生出来的, 这个词后来逐渐发展具有了“保护”的意思。受动词意义的影响,法语名词chaperon 也有了“伴护”的含义, 英语借用了这个含义,首见于1720年发表的一部作品。在早期用法上,英语词chaperon 是指一个在社交场合陪伴并保护一名未成婚少女的人,尤指年长妇女。 英语动词chaperon “做伴护人”, 最初见于简·奥斯丁的理智与情感 , 此作品开始是1796年动笔的一部名为“艾利诺和马利恩”的文学速写,1811年作为一部小说出版〔Austin〕British writer who became poet laureate in 1896 and wrote several volumes of poetry, includingThe Season (1861). 奥斯丁,艾尔弗雷德:(1835-1913) 英国作家,于1896年被授予桂冠诗人称号,著有几部诗集,包括《季节》 (1861年) 〔Austin〕American colonizer and political leader who worked to make Texas a state of Mexico but later helped Texas settlers gain their independence (1836).奥斯丁,斯蒂芬·富勒:(1793-1836) 美国殖民主义者及政治领导,曾臻力于使得克萨斯成为墨西哥一州的工作,但随后又帮助得克萨斯居民取得独立(于1836年)〔Flint〕American physician who discovered the irregular heart sound that came to be called the Austin Flint murmur.弗林特,奥斯丁:(1812-1886) 美国医生,发现了后来被称作奥斯汀·弗林特杂音的不规则心律 |
