| 释义 | 〔obsessive〕Excessive in degree or nature:急迫的：在程度或性质上连续的：〔formal〕Something, such as a gown or social affair, that is formal in nature.礼服：性质上属于正式的东西，如长礼服和社交活动〔fey〕The history of the wordsfey and fay illustrates a rather fey coincidence. Our wordfay, "fairy, elf,” the descendant of Middle Englishfaie, "a person or place possessed of magical properties,” and first recorded around 1390,goes back to Old Frenchfae, "fairy,” the same word that has given usfairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar LatinFāta, "the goddess of fate,” from Latin fātum, "fate.” Iffay goes back to fate, so doesfey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestorfǣge meant "fated to die.” The sense we are more familiar with, "magical or fairylike in quality,”seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound betweenfay and fey. fey 和 fay 两词的历史展示了一个十分奇特的巧合。 我们现在所使用的词fay, “神仙，小精灵，” 是中古英语faie, “具有魔力的人或地方”的派生词， 它首次记载于约1390年左右，回溯到古法语fae “神仙”， 这一词产生了我们现在的fairy。 Fae 依次产生于俗拉丁语Fata, “命运女神，”和拉丁语 fatum， “命运。” 如果fay 回到命运的意思， 可以说fey 也是如此， 因为其古英语原形f?ge 的意思即为“注定死亡。” 我们现在更熟悉的意思“性质上具有魔力的或似神仙的”，似乎部分是由于fay 和 fey 在读音上的相似而产生的 〔corrupt〕The central meaning shared by these verbs is "to ruin utterly in character or quality": 这些动词共同的中心意思是“在特征或性质上严重毁坏”： 〔vary〕To undergo successive or alternate changes in attributes or qualities:改变，变化：经受特性质上的连续的或交替的变化：〔removed〕Distant in space, time, or nature; remote.See Synonyms at distant 遥远的：在空间，时间或性质上远离的；遥远的 参见 distant〔checker〕To diversify (something) in color, shading, or character; variegate.呈多样化：使（某物）在色彩、明暗或性质上多样化；使不同〔alien〕Dissimilar, inconsistent, or opposed, as in nature:相异的，不相容的：性质上不同、不一致或对立的：〔vary〕To make or cause changes in the characteristics or attributes of; modify or alter.变更，改变：制造或导致…的特征或性质上的改变；修改或改变〔equivocal〕Of a doubtful or uncertain nature.不确定的：性质上有疑问或不确定的〔connatural〕Related or similar in nature; cognate.同族的：性质上有关的或相似的；同族的〔anomalous〕Equivocal, as in classification or nature.不明确的，模棱两可的：在类别或性质上不明确的 |
