Whodunit?” As for its ultimate origin,tump is probably related to tumble as a separate development from the same Old English verbtumbian. 动词tump 几乎总是和 over 连用, 作不及物动词表示“倾倒,翻倒”,也可作及物动词表示“弄翻,翻转”,这个词在南部普遍使用。美国方言词典 的编辑们收集证据证明这个词用于阿肯色州、得克萨斯州和肯塔基州, 也普遍用于阿拉巴马州,田纳西州和佐治亚州。美国区域英语词典 中提供的这个例句很典型: “当他擦过咖啡桌时,他的可乐打翻了” (阿肯色州小石城,密告者)。但是从格里高利·杰恩斯的模仿侦探小说的作品《在纽约州:谁往布丁里下了毒?》(该作品刊登于1985年6月17日出版的时代 )中摘录的另一处引文却显示 tump 不一定只在南方使用: “最后,他跌倒在自己的稻米布丁中,被毒死了。谁干的?” 至于这个的词的最终来源,tump 可能与 tumble 有关, 它们分别从同一个古英语动词tumbian 发展而来 |
