The word in the formtenetz is first recorded in a work written around 1400. The game referred to is what is now calledcourt tennis, or real tennis, which is played on a large indoor court with a specially marked-out floorand high cement walls off which the ball may be played.It seems likely that the Middle English formtenetz is from tenetz, an Anglo-Norman variant of the Old French word tenez, the imperative oftenir, "to hold,” and meaning "receive,” said by the server to his opponent.As this evidence indicates, tennis originated in medieval France,but the French called the game, then as now,la paume. Bytennis we do not mean what tenetz or la paume meant but rather lawn tennis, a term first recorded around 1874, shortly after an early form of lawn tennis, descended from court tennis, was introduced. Unlike court tennis, which is traditionally associated with the rich and the royal, tennis is open to players from a wide spectrum of society,although it certainly is not unconnected with the rich and the royal.令人惊讶的是，尽管人们对这项运动的历史知之甚多，但tennis 一词的起源却不被人所详细了解。 在约1400年，此词以tenetz 的形式第一次出现在书面上。 其所指的运动就是现在所谓的court tennis 或 real tennis ， 这是一种在有标记的地板的室内场地上进行的运动，场地四周有很高的泥灰墙。而中古英语的tenetz 有可能是从 tenetz 这个古法语中的盎格鲁-诺曼变体 tenez 得来的。 而该古法语词又是tenir 一词的祈使式， 意为“抓住，握住”，而发球人对其对手说时意义为“接住”。这一例子似乎说明网球运动起源于中世纪的法国，但是在法语中，这项运动从古至今一直被称为la paume 。 我们用tennis 这一词其实指代的不是 tenetz 或者 la paume 指代的事物，而是 lawn tennis 这一在1874年前后第一次被记录的词语所指代的事物，此时由庭院网球演变而来的草地网球的一种早期形式正在被介绍开来。 不象传统上与富人和贵族联系紧密的庭院网球，网球运动适合社会各阶层的人，当然这并不是说这一运动就与富人和贵族没有联系〔parasite〕Latin parasītus [a person who lives by amusing the rich] 拉丁语 parasītus [以给富人逗乐为生的人] 〔gap〕a gap between revenue and spending; the widening gap between rich and poor.收入和消费之间的差距；富人与穷人之间很大的悬殊〔monopolize〕desirable housing monopolized by the wealthy;富人独占了令人向往的住房；〔ban〕bay [rich] ; akin to Turkish bay [rich, gentleman] bay [富人] ；类似于 土耳其语 bay [富人，绅士] 〔overclass〕The upper social stratum of society, composed of wealthy and professional people, especially when viewed as controlling society's economic power.上流社会：由富人与专业技术人员组成的上层社会阶级，尤被视为掌握社会经济力的〔have〕One enjoying especially material wealth:富人：尤指享受物质财富的人：〔overdog〕"a champion of the overdog who provides tax breaks for the rich while cutting social services for the poor"(Leon Daniel)“一个支持停止富人缴税同时却削减为穷人提供社会服务的特权阶级的人”(莱昂·丹尼尔)〔grind〕"Laws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law"(Oliver Goldsmith)“法律压榨穷人，而富人统治着法律”(奥利弗·哥尔德史密斯)〔boyar〕from Turkic baylar [pl. of] bay [rich] ; akin to Turkish bay [rich, gentleman] 源自 突厥语 baylar bay的复数 [富裕的] ；类似于 土耳其语 bay [富人，绅士] 〔parasite〕One who lives off and flatters the rich; a sycophant.奉承逗乐的食客：以奉承富人为生的人；趋炎附势者〔rebel〕"He is the perfect recruit for fascist movements: a rebel not a revolutionary, contemptuous yet envious of the rich and involved with them"(Stanley Hoffman)“他是法西斯运动不可多得的新成员；一个反叛者却不是一个革命者，蔑视而不羡慕富人并同他们搅在一起”(斯坦利·霍夫曼)〔darling〕"the pride and vanity of the rich, the darlings of fate"(Mario Puzo)“富人的骄傲和虚荣是命运的宠儿”(马里奥·普佐) |
