单词 | 小孩子 |
释义 | 〔gang〕The older children were always ganging up on the little ones.年纪较大的孩子总会联合起来欺负小孩子〔marble〕A small hard ball, usually of glass, used in children's games.弹子:小孩子游戏中通常用玻璃制成的小硬球〔beaver〕from Old French baviere [child's bib, beaver] 源自 古法语 baviere [小孩子的围兜,面甲] 〔infant〕Anyone who has ever responded to the cries of a howling infantmay find it difficult to believe the etymology of the wordinfant. The source of our word is the Latin wordīnfāns (stem form, or form to which inflections are added, īnfant- ), meaning "a little child; strictly, one who does not yet speak.”The noun is from the adjectiveīnfāns, meaning "not having the power of speech" and "newly born"and made up of the negative prefixin- and the present participle fāns, "speaking,” of the verbfārī, "to speak.” Latinīnfāns and its Old French descendant enfant could both be used to refer to a speaking child, and the earliest recorded use (around 1384) of their Middle English descendantinfaunte, the ancestor of our word, is in the sense "child.”This use gave rise to our legal sense ofinfant, "a minor,” thus reminding us of individuals who can be very talkative indeed.只要是听过婴儿啼哭声的人,就难以相信infant 的词源是这样来的: 这个词的词源是拉丁文infans (派生形式,即加了词尾的变体, infant- ), 意思是“一个小孩子;严格地说,是指还不会说话的幼儿”。名词是由形容词infans 演化而来的, 它的意思是“不会说话的”“新生的”,由反义前缀in 和现在分词 fans “说话的”构成的, 其动词原形为fari 意思是“说话”。 拉丁字infans 及它的古法语派生字 enfant 都可以用来指会说话的幼儿; 它们的派生词、我们这个字的鼻祖是中古英语字infaunte ,其最早的记载约在1384年左右, 那时的意思是“儿童”。这样,我们这个字的法定意义infant “未成年人”就出现了; 这使我们想起那些十分健谈的人〔tyke〕A small child, especially a boy.小孩子,尤指小男孩〔whelp〕A child; a youth.小孩子;年轻人〔infantilize〕"The Victorian physician infantilized his patient"(Judith Moore)“维多利亚时代的医生对待其病人如同对待小孩子一样”(朱迪思·穆尔)〔bib〕A piece of cloth or plastic secured under the chin and worn, especially by small children, to protect the clothing while eating.围涎,围嘴:吃饭时围在下巴下面用以保护衣服的一块布或塑料布,多用于小孩子〔taws〕A leather whip divided at the end into strips, formerly used to punish children:皮鞭:一种尾端分叉成许多细线的皮鞭,一般都是用来惩罚小孩子的:〔endearing〕the endearing charm of a little child.小孩子惹人爱怜的特性〔nonreader〕A person who cannot or does not read, especially a child who takes a long time learning to read.不能阅读的人:不能或不愿阅读的人,尤指花费很长时间学着阅读的小孩子 |
