He also invented the one-step photographic process (1947).兰德，埃德温·赫伯特：(1909-1991) 美国发明家，他于（1932年）改进了被称为偏振片的光偏振塑料胶片，并把它应用于照相机的镜头和太阳镜。他还发明了一步法摄影程序（1947年）〔rule〕A subordinate regulation governing a particular matter.附属条文：应用于某一特定案子的附属规定〔calpac〕A large black cap, usually of sheepskin or felt, worn in Turkey, the Caucasus, Iran, and neighboring regions.黑毡帽：一种大的黑色帽子，通常用羊皮或毡皮制成，应用于土耳其、高加索、伊朗和邻近地区〔tactics〕Guerrilla tactics were employed during most of the war.游击战术被应用于战争的大部分时间里〔anesthesia〕The following passage, written on November 21, 1846, by Oliver Wendell Holmes,a physician-poet and the father of the Supreme Court justice of the same name,allows us to pinpoint the entry ofanesthesia and anesthetic into English: "Every body wants to have a hand in a great discovery. All I will do is to give you a hint or two as to names—or the name—to be applied to the state produced and the agent. The state should, I think, be called ‘Anaesthesia’ [from the Greek word anaisthēsia, "lack of sensation"]. This signifies insensibility . . . The adjective will be ‘Anaesthetic.’ Thus we might say the state of Anaesthesia, or the anaesthetic state.”This citation is taken from a letter to William Thomas Green Morton,who in October of that year had successfully demonstrated the use of ether at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.Althoughanaesthesia is recorded in Nathan Bailey's Universal Etymological English Dictionary in 1721, it is clear that Holmes really was responsible for its entry into the language.TheOxford English Dictionary has several citations for anesthesia and anesthetic in 1847 and 1848, indicating that the words gained rapid acceptance.下面是奥立佛·万德·霍姆斯写于1846年11月21的一段话。作者是个诗人医生和与其同名的最高法庭法官的父亲。这段话能使我们断定anesthesia 和 anesthetic 进入英语的背景： “每个人都希望能够参与一次伟大的发现。我所要做的是告诉你一两个提示去命名，或能被应用于某种状态的名称。我认为这种状态应该被叫做Anaesthesia ［从希腊词anaisthesia “感觉缺失”发展而来］。 这个词表示无感觉…其形容词应该是‘Anaesthetic’。这样我们可以说感觉缺失的状态或感觉缺失”。这段话是从寄给威廉·托马斯·格林·莫顿的一封信上摘录下的，莫顿同年十月在波士顿的马萨诸塞总医院曾成功使用了醚。尽管南森·巴利于1721年把anaethesia 选入了 通用英语词源词典 ， 但是很显然是霍姆斯首先把这个词引入英语。牛津英语词典 上有几处引用了1847年和1848年有 anesthesia 和 anesthetic 的句子， 说明这两个词很快就被人们所接受〔astrionics〕Electronics used in astronautics.宇航电子学：应用于航天学的电子学〔choriamb〕A foot of verse used in lyric poetry having two unstressed syllables flanked by the two rhythmic stresses marking the first and last syllables of the foot.扬抑抑扬格：一种应用于抒情诗诗体中的音步，由两个轻音节夹在两个有节奏的重音之间构成，用于表示该音步的第一个和最后一个音节〔equal〕It has been argued thatequal is an absolute term— two quantities either are or are not equal—and hence cannot be qualified as to degree.Therefore one cannot logically speak ofa more equal allocation of resources among the departments. However, this usage was accepted by 71 percent of the Usage Panel in an earlier survey.What is more, objection to the usage betrays a widespread but questionable assumptionthat it is in mathematics and logic that we find the model of accuracy most appropriate to the everyday use of language,a supposition that also underlies traditional grammatical discussions of words such asunique, parallel, and center. According to this account,the "precise" or "literal" meaning ofequal is realized in the use of the equal sign in an arithmetic expression such as 5 + 2 = 7; and the ordinary-language uses of the term,though they may be permissible,represent "loose" or "imprecise" extensions of that sense.But in fact the mathematical concept of equality is a poor model for using the wordequal to describe relations between things in the world. As applied to such things,statements of equality are always relative to an implicit standard of tolerance.When someone saysThe two boards are of equal length, we assume that the equality is reckoned to some order of approximation determined by the context;if we did not,we would be required always to usenearly equal when speaking of the dimensions of physical objects. What is more,we often want to predicate equality of things that do not admit of quantitative measurement,as when we sayThe college draft was introduced in an effort to make the teams in the National Football League as equal as possible, orThe candidates for the job should all be given equal consideration. In all such cases,equality is naturally a gradient notionand so is amenable to modification in degree.This much is evident from the existence of the wordunequal. The prefixun- attaches only to gradient adjectives: we sayunmanly but not unmale; and the worduneven can be applied to a surface (whose evenness may be a matter of degree) but not to a number (whose evenness is an either-or affair). ·The adverbequally is generally regarded as redundant when used in combination with as, and the following examples employingequally as were termed unacceptable by 63 percent of the Usage Panel in an earlier survey: 单词equal 一向被认为是一个很绝对的词语—— 两个数量要么相同要么不同——这样就不能有程度上的差别。所以，如果有人说在各部门间对资源更公平的分配 ，那么就不合逻辑了。 但是这种用法在早先的用法调查中被百分之七十一用法使用小组的人接受。而且，对这种用法的反对体现出了一种很流行但却值得怀疑的假设，那就是我们从数学和逻辑中得出适用于日常语言准确性的实例，而这种假设也可从我们对一些词，如unique，parallel 和 center 传统的语法讨论中体现出来。 根据这个解释，equal “准确”或“书面”的意思则是由在算术表达式，如5+2=7中所运用的相同的符号而表达清楚的； 而该词在日常语言中的用法，虽然被允许，但却代表了其含意“松散”或“不严谨”的引申。但是实际上用数学概念上的相等来运用equal 这个词描述世上各种事物之间的关系是一个很差劲的例子。 当该词应用于生活中的事物时，相等的观念往往与暗含的容忍相关联。当有人说两块木板同样长 时， 我们会认为由于上下文的关系，相等可以被看作大约近似；如果我们不这样想，那么当我们谈到物体的尺寸时，就要经常使用nearly equal 。 另外，我们常常会预测和数量无关的事物的相同性，比如我们会说，引入大学的要求是为了使全国足球联合会中的各队尽可能平等 ， 或者应给予该项工作的应征者同等的考虑 。 在所有这些例子中，相等是个可变化的概念，所以可在程度有所不同。Unequal 这个词的存在就是很好的证明。 un- 这个前缀只附加于有程序变化的形容词， 我们说unmanly 但不说 unmale ； 而uneven 这个词只能用于某物的表面（其平坦可有程度上的差别）， 而不能用于数目（数目只能说相等或不相等）。Equally 这一副词在与 as 连用时通常被认为是多余的， 在早先的用法调查中，以下这些使用equally as 的句子遭到百分之六十三使用小组的人反对： 〔can〕Generations of grammarians and schoolteachers have insisted thatcan should be used only to express the capacity to do something, and thatmay must be used to express permission. Technically, correct usage therefore requires 好几代的语法学家们和中学教师们主张can 只应用于表示做某事的能力， 同时may 必须用于表示许可。 因此，在学术上纠正其用法要求 〔tweed〕Calling the wordtweed an alteration of the form tweel obscures the fact that in this case, as in many others,human error has helped create a word.Tweed is indeed possibly the result of a misreading of tweel, an originally Scots form of twill. Tweed also could be a misreading of an abbreviated form oftweeled, a form of twilled. Association withTweed, the name of the river that is part of the border between England and Scotland, helped support the misreading,which was originally a trade name.The word is said to have first been used around 1831,but it is not recorded until 1847.Thus had it not been for the misreading,the tweedy look might have been the tweely look or the tweeledy look.把tweed 这个词当作 tweel 的一种变体形式掩盖了一个事实， 即和其它很多情况一样，这种情况使人类的错误创造了一个新词。Tweed 实际上很可能是 tweel 这一最早是 twill的苏格兰形式的误读造成的结果。 Tweed 也可能是派生词tweeled ，即 twilled 的另一种形式的误读。 与Tweed （特威德，英格兰和苏格兰边界上一条河的名字）相关联， 也促成了这种误读的形成。它最初是一个行业的名字。据说这个词最早应用于1831年，但直到1847年才有书面记录。因此，如果没有这种误读，衣着随便的样子就可能成了矫情的样子或斜纹毛呢装扮〔claustrophobic〕Clinically speaking,claustrophobic denotes a pathological disposition to feel terror in closed spaces. But like other terms from clinical psychology (narcissism and schizophrenic, for example), the word has been applied more loosely in general usage:at first to refer to a temporary feeling of being closed in (as in 客观地说，claustrophobic 表示了一种在封闭空间里感到恐惧的病理倾向。 但象其它来自临床病理学的词汇（例如narcissism 和 schizophrenic ）一样， 该词已经被应用于更广泛的普遍意义了：首先是指被关禁时的短暂感受（如 〔sensuous〕 Sensual more often applies to the physical senses or appetites,particularly those associated with sexual pleasure: Sensual 更经常地应用于身体的感觉或欲望，尤指与性快乐有关的： 〔Aquinas〕Italian Dominican monk, theologian, and philosopher. The outstanding representative of Scholasticism, he applied Aristotelian methods to Christian theology. His masterwork isSumma Theologica (1266-1273). 阿奎那，托马斯：(1225-1274) 意大利多明我会修道士，神学家和哲学家。经院哲学杰出代表，他将亚里士多德的方法应用于基督神学。他的名著是《神学大全》 （1266-1273年） 〔pallet〕A tool used for printing or gilding letters on book bindings or taking up and applying gold leaf.烫书脊用金属板：用于印刷或修饰缚书中的字母或从事或应用于封页的一种工具〔Berg〕Austrian composer. A pupil of Arnold Schönberg, he applied an atonal manner to classical forms in works such as the operaWozzeck (1925) and Violin Concerto (1935). 贝尔格，奥尔本：(1885-1935) 奥地利作曲家，阿诺续·舍恩贝格的学生，其作品把无调主义风格应用于古典形式，如歌剧《渥兹克》 （1925年）和 《小提琴协奏曲》 （1935年） 〔apply〕To put to or adapt for a special use:应用；把…应用于：投入或应用于一项特定用途：〔rhythm〕 Meter applies in poetry to any of various measured rhythmic patterns ( Meter 在诗中应用于任一种不同配制的节奏形式（ 〔best〕According to rule,better should be used in comparisons between two things: Which house of Congress has the better (not best ) attendance record? In certain fixed expressions, however,best is used idiomatically for comparisons between two: Put your best foot forward. May the best man win! See Usage Note at better 1rather 按照规定，better 应用于两种东西的比较： which house of Congress has the better （而不是 best ） attendence record？（哪一次的议会出席率高一些？）。 在某些固定的表达中best 也被习惯用于两者之间的比较： 全力以赴。祝最佳的取胜！ 参见 better1rather〔Archimedes〕Greek mathematician, engineer, and physicist. Among the most important intellectual figures of antiquity, he discovered formulas for the area and volume of various geometric figures, applied geometry to hydrostatics and mechanics, devised numerous ingenious mechanisms, such as the Archimedean screw, and discovered the principle of buoyancy.阿基米德：希腊数学家、工程师及物理学家。作为古代最重要的智慧人物之一，他发现了不同几何形体的面积和体积公式，将几何学应用于流体静力学和机械学，设计了许多灵巧装置，如阿基米德螺旋泵，并发现了浮力定理〔Bauhaus〕Of, relating to, or characteristic of a 20th-century school of design, the aesthetic of which was influenced by and derived from techniques and materials employed especially in industrial fabrication and manufacture.包豪斯建筑派的：二十世纪建筑学派的，这种设计的美学原理特别受到应用于工业制造的技术和材料的影响，与该建筑学派有关的，或具有该建筑学派特征的〔quantize〕To apply quantum mechanics or the quantum theory to.将量子力学或量子论应用于…〔pick〕picked up on the new approach and applied it to the project.很快地了解了新方法并把它应用于这个项目中〔ornate〕 Baroque applies to a European artistic style marked by ornate scrolls and curves.It often connotes rich, sometimes bizarre or incongruous ornamentation: Baroque 应用于欧洲一种以装饰漩涡形或雕刻为特色的艺术风格。该词经常暗含着丰富的、有时稀奇古怪的或不恰当的装饰： 〔admission〕It is often maintained that admittance should be used only to refer to achieving physical access to a place (He was denied admittance to the courtroom), and that admission should be used for the wider sense of achieving entry to a group or institution (her admission to the club; China's admission to the United Nations). This distinction is often ignored, though many writers continue to observe it. But admission is much more common in the sense "a fee paid for the right of entry": 通常人们认为 admittance 只用于表示身体进入到某处（他被拒绝进入法庭），而 admission 应用于更广的意义，表示获得加入某个团体或机构（允许她加入俱乐部；允许中国加入联合国）。这个区别通常被忽视，虽然许多作家继续注意这点。但是 admission 更普遍用于表达“为进入权所付的费用”：〔biomedicine〕The application of the principles of the natural sciences, especially biology and physiology, to clinical medicine.临床生物医学：应用于临床医学的自然科学原理，尤指生物学与生理学〔spontaneous〕"Nor is head-hunting, body-snatching, or killing for food instinctive or natural" (Bronislaw Malinowski).The term also applies to what reflects or comes about as a result of a natural inclination or innate impulse: “既不是为捕猎头，或为获得身体，也不是本能地或自然地为了食物而杀害” （布劳内斯罗·马林诺夫斯基）。这个词也应用于作为一种自然倾向或因内在冲动而产生的后果： 〔Platonic〕Plato did not invent the term or the concept that bears his name,but he did see sexual desire as the germ for higher loves.Marsilio Ficino, a Renaissance follower of Plato,used the termsamor socraticus and amor platonicus interchangeably for a love between two human beings that was preparatory for the love of God. From Ficino's usagePlatonic (already present in English as an adjective to describe what related to Platoand first recorded in 1533) came to be used for a spiritual love between persons of opposite sexes.In our own centuryPlatonic has been used of relationships between members of the same sex. Though the concept is an elevated one,the term has perhaps more often been applied in waysthat led Samuel Richardson to have one of his characters inPamela say, "I am convinced, and always was, that Platonic love is Platonic nonsense.”柏拉图并没有发明带有他名字的术语或概念，但他的确将性欲看作更高层次爱的根源。文艺复兴时期柏拉图的信徒马尔西利奥·菲奇诺，交替地使用术语amor socraticus 和 amor platonicus 表示为上帝之爱准备的两个人之间的爱。 按照菲奇诺的用法Platonic （已作为一个形容词在英语中出现， 描述与柏拉图有关的事物，首次记录于1533年）逐渐被用来指异性之间的精神恋爱。在我们这个世纪,Platonic 已用于指同性伙伴之间的关系。 尽管这个词的概念是高尚的，但这个术语可能被更多地应用于一些方式，其导致塞缪尔·理查森让他的小说帕美勒 中的人物说： “我确信，而且一直确信，柏拉图式的恋爱是柏拉图的胡言乱语”〔share〕 Share applies both to giving and to receiving partial possession, use, or enjoyment: Share 应用于给予和接受部分财产、使用权或娱乐： |
