| 释义 | 〔comet〕Comets have been feared throughout much of human history,and even in our own time their goings and comings receive great attention.Perhaps a comet might seem less awesome if we realized that our name for it is based on a figurative resemblance between it and human beings.This figurative name is recorded first in the works of Aristotle,in which he useskomē, the Greek word for "hair of the head,” to mean "luminous tail of a comet.” Aristotle then uses the derived wordkomētēs, "wearing long hair,” as a noun meaning "comet.” The Greek word was adopted into Latin ascomētēs, which was refashioned in Late Latin and given the formcomēta, furnishing Old English with comēta, the earliest English ancestor of our wordcomet. 在大多数人类历史期间，人们害怕彗星，甚至在我们自己的时代彗星的到来与离去仍受到很大注意。如果我们认识到我们对它的名字是基于它和人在外形上的相似性，也许彗星看起来就不太可怕了。比喻的名字首先记录在亚里士多德的著作中，他使用的kome 是希腊语中意为“头发”的词，表示“彗星明亮的尾巴。 然后亚里士多德使用导出的单词kometes “戴长发”，作为名词意义的"comet"。 希腊单词被采用到拉丁语为cometes， 它再形成晚期拉丁语，给定形式为cometa， 以 cometa 的形式出现于老式英语， 这就是我们单词comet 的最早英语原形 〔tag〕The contrastingly colored tip of an animal's tail.异色尾尖：动物尾巴上与其余部分颜色相异的末端〔crocodile〕Any of various large aquatic reptiles, chiefly of the genusCrocodylus, native to tropical and subtropical regions and having thick, armorlike skin and long, tapering jaws. 鳄鱼：任一种原产于热带和亚热带地区的鳄 属大型水栖爬行动物，生有厚的、甲状皮肤以及长而逐渐变细的尾巴 〔pintail〕A duck(Anas acuta) of the Northern Hemisphere, having gray, brown, and white plumage and a sharply pointed tail.
