单词 | 忘却 |
释义 | 〔adhesive〕"He feels an adhesive dread, a sudden acquaintance with the . . . darker side of mankind"(George F. Will)“他感到一种无法忘却的恐惧,一种对…人类黑暗面的突然认识”(乔治F.威尔)〔hard〕said some hard things that I won't forget.说了些令我不能忘却的严厉的事情〔relieve〕"What shall assuage the unforgotten pain/And teach the unforgetful to forget?” (Dante Gabriel Rossetti). “什么会抚慰不能忘却的痛苦/并且让无法忘怀的人学会遗忘?” (但丁·加布利亚尔·罗塞蒂)。〔prison〕The wordprison has its origins not in the notions of what such a place is but rather in the notion of how one gets there. Prison can be traced back to the Latin word prēnsiō, "the action or power of making an arrest.” This in turn is derived from the verbprehendere or prendere, which meant "to take hold of, take into custody, arrest.”Prēnsiō then dives into the obscurity of the time when Romance languages such as French were being formed from Vulgar Latin and resurfaces in the Old French of the 12th century with the formprison and the senses "capture" and "place of imprisonment.”This new sense could have already been developed in Latinand not been recorded,but we have to wait until the 12th century to see it,the sense "captivity" being added in the same century.From Old French as well as the Medieval Latin wordpriso, "prison,” derived from Old French, came our Middle English word prisoun, first recorded in a work written before 1121in the sense "imprisonment.”The sense "place of imprisonment" is recorded shortly afterward in a text copied down before 1225but perhaps actually written in the Old English period before the Norman Conquest.Prison 这个单词的来源不在于它是一个什么样的地方而在于一个人是怎么进去的。 Prison 可追溯到意思是“进行逮捕的行动或力量”的拉丁词 prensio。 这个词也是从动词prehendere 或 prendere 派生出来的, 意思是“捉住,逮捕,拘留。”Prensio 这个词在罗马语系中的语言(如法语)逐渐从通俗拉丁语形成时被人们忘却了, 12世纪又以prison 的形式在古法语中重新露面, 其含义是“捉住”和“囚禁人的地方。”这个新的含义很可能在拉丁语中已得到了发展,只是没有被记录下来,但是我们直到12世纪才看到它,在同一世纪“囚禁,俘虏”的意思被加了进去。从古法语、同时也是从源于古法语的中世纪拉丁语词priso “监狱,监禁”中产生了中古英语单词 prison, 这个词最早的记录是在一部著于1121年的作品中,意思是“监禁,拘留。”“监禁或囚禁的地方”这层意思在稍后出现的、在1225年以前被抄录下来的一篇文章中出现,但可能实际写作的时间是在诺曼征服之前的古英语时期〔admonish〕To remind of something forgotten or disregarded, as an obligation or a responsibility.提醒,敦促:使想到忘却的或忽视的事,如义务或责任〔forget〕To be unable to remember (something).忘记,忘却:无法记起(某物)〔oblivious〕Lacking all memory; forgetful.健忘的;忘却的〔lethe〕A condition of forgetfulness; oblivion.忘却、遗忘:忘却、遗忘的状态;遗忘〔hypnosis〕A sleeplike state usually induced by another person in which the subject may experience forgotten or suppressed memories, hallucinations, and heightened suggestibility.催眠状态:由另外一个人引向的似睡状态,在这状态中主体可能体验已忘却的或受压抑的记忆、幻觉和高度的暗示〔limbo〕A region or condition of oblivion or neglect:遗忘,忘却:遗忘或忽视的区域或状况: |
