This presumably occurredbecausequiz was associated with question, inquisitive, or perhaps the English dialect verb quiset, "to question" (probably itself short for obsoleteinquisite, "to investigate"). From this new area of meaning came the noun and verb senses all too familiar to students.The second recorded instance of the noun sense occurs in the writings of no less an educator than William James,who in a December 26, 1867, letter proffers the hopethat "perhaps giving ‘quizzes’ in anatomy and physiology . . . may help along.”虽然我们不知道quiz 这个词的来源, 正象我们可能并不清楚测试中所有问题的答案一样,但我们可以肯定的是这个词最初被记录时的意义与人有关,而不是测试,这个词第一次被记录下来是在1782年,意思为“一个古怪或行为怪诞的人”。从这种意义的名词派生出一个动词,意思为“嘲笑或戏弄…”和“以嘲讽的态度对待”。在英语并且很可能是在美国英语中,quiz 这个动词形成了有关审问或提问的意思, 据猜测,这一现象的发生是因为quiz 使人联想起 question , inquisitive 或者可能 quiset 这个英国方言中的动词, 意思为“提问”(很可能是inquisite 这个过时用语的缩写形式,意思为“调查”)。 从这个意思中派生出学生们再熟悉不 过的名词和动词意思。记录下这个名词意义的第二个例子恰好出现在教育家威廉·詹姆斯的笔下。在1867年12月26日写的一封信中,他提出一条希望:或许在解剖学和物理学方面进行测试…可能有些独特的帮助。”〔Kafkaesque〕Characterized by surreal distortion and usually by a sense of impending danger:恐怖的,怪诞的:具有超现实的扭曲的特征,且通常有逼近的危机感的:〔fantastic〕fantastic attire; fantastic behavior.怪诞的服装;古怪的举止〔ghastly〕 Macabre suggests the gruesome, often grotesque horror of death and decay: Macabre 指可怕的经常是关于死亡和腐烂的怪诞的恐怖: 〔unco〕So unusual as to be surprising; uncanny.奇怪的:异常的,令人惊讶的;怪诞的〔uncanny〕Peculiarly unsettling, as if of supernatural origin or nature; eerie.See Synonyms at weird 神秘的:似乎出于怪异的原因或性质而异常令人不乐的;怪诞的 参见 weird〔grotesque〕A style of painting, sculpture, and ornamentation in which natural forms and monstrous figures are intertwined in bizarre or fanciful combinations.奇异风格,形状怪诞的图案:一种自然的形式和奇异的图形以一种奇异或古怪的方式结合在一起的绘画雕塑和装饰风格 |
