单词 | 征召 |
释义 | 〔induction〕The act or an instance of inducting.征召:征兵的行为或事例〔levy〕To draft into military service.征召:征募…服兵役〔gremlin〕Elves, goblins, and trolls seem to be the timeless creations of the distant past,but gremlins were born in the 20th century.In fact,gremlin is first recorded only in the 1920's, as a Royal Air Force term for a low-ranking officer or enlisted man saddled with oppressive assignments. Said to have been invented by members of the Royal Naval Air Service in World War I,gremlin is used in works written in the 1940's for "an imaginary gnomelike creature who causes difficulties in aircraft.”The word seems likely to have been influenced bygoblin, but accounts of its origin are various and none are certain.One source calls in Fremlin beer bottles to explain the word;another, the Irish Gaelic wordgruaimín, "ill-humored little fellow.” Whatever the word's origin,it is certain that gremlins have taken on a life of their own.小精灵、小妖怪和侏儒似乎很久以前就被创造出来而且流传至今,而小妖精一词则是20世纪的产物。事实上,gremlin 在20世纪20年代首次被记录下来时为皇家空军对一个承受严酷任务的低级军官或征召者的称呼。 据说这是在第一次世界大战中由皇家空军的成员创造出来的。1904年,gremlin 被用在书面的作品中, 意为“一种想象中的在飞机上制造麻烦的小生物。”这个词看起来很有可能受了goblin 一词的影响, 但对其词源说法不一,莫衷一是。一种说法用弗来姆林啤酒瓶来解释这一词;而另一种认为爱尔兰凯尔特语词汇gruaimin 意为“坏脾气的小家伙”为其词源。 不管源自何处,有一点是肯定的,小妖精自身有其生命力〔call〕To order or request to undertake a particular activity or work; summon:征召:命令或要求参加某一特别活动或工作;传唤:〔call〕To summon to active military service:征召:召集服兵役:〔lineup〕A group of people, organizations, or things enlisted or arrayed for a purpose:阵容:为了某种目的而征召或聚集起来的一群人、组织或物品:〔impress〕To compel (a person) to serve in a military force.征召:强迫(一个人)在军队中服役〔call〕She was called for jury duty.
