释义 | 〔vogue〕The history of the wordvogue takes us back from the abstract world of fashion to the concrete actions of moving in a vehicle and rowing a boat, demonstrating how sense can change dramatically over time even though it flows, as it were, in the same channel.The history ofvogue begins with the Indo-European root .wegh-, meaning "to go, transport in a vehicle.” Among many other forms derived from this root was the Germanic stem.wēga-, "water in motion.” From this stem came the Old Low German verbwogōn, meaning "to sway, rock.” This verb passed into Old French asvoguer, which meant "to sail, row.” The Old French word yielded the nounvogue, which probably literally meant "a rowing,” and so "a course,” and figuratively "reputation" and then "reputation of fashionable things" or "prevailing fashion,” which involve courses, so to speak.The French passed the noun on to us,it being first recorded in English in 1571.vogue 一词的历史把我们从抽象世界的时尚带回到在车辆里移动和划船的具体行为, 显示出尽管意义象以前一样在同一个轨道上变化,但它能越过时间发生引人瞩目的变化。vogue 的历史起源于印欧词根 wegh-, 意思是“走,在车辆里运行”。 从此词根发展出许多别的词形,如日尔曼词干wega- ,“运动的水。” 古低地德语动词wogon 从此词干而来,意思是“摆动,震动。” 这个动词以voguer 的形式传入,意为“航行,划。” 古法语词又产生出名词vogue, 字面上的意义可能是“一次划船,”并转为“一个过程,”并且其喻义为“名声”,而后为“流行东西的名声”或“流行的时尚,”可以说它包含着一些过程。法语把这个名词传给我们,于1571年最早被录入英语〔prerecord〕To record (a television program, for example) at an earlier time for later presentation or use.将…预先录入,预先录制:为后期的表演或使用而预先录制(如电视节目) |
