单词 我发誓
释义 〔vum〕A New Englander expressing surprise is liable to say,"Well, I vum!” This odd-sounding word is in fact an alteration of the verbvow that goes back to the days of the American Revolution.It is also heard simply as"Vum!” or as a sort of past participle: "I'll be vummed!” A southern equivalent isswanny, also meaning "swear": Now, I swanny! According to theOxford English Dictionary, the word swanny derives from the dialect of the North of England: Is' wan ye, "I shall warrant ye.” 一个新英格兰人表示惊讶时会说“嗯,我发誓!” 这个听起来有些古老的词实际上是vow 这个动词的变体, 它可以上溯到美国独立战争时期。也可以仅用"Vum!"(“发誓!”) 或作为过去分词: "I'll be vummed!"(“我可以发誓!”) 南方相同的词是Swanny, 也是“发誓”的意思: Now, I swanny!(现在,我起誓!) 按照牛津英语字典, swanny 一词由北英格兰方言派生而来: Is' wan ye, “我向你保证” 〔performative〕I now pronounce you husband and wifeat a wedding ceremony, thus creating a legal union, or as one utteringI promise,thus performing the act of promising.我现在宣告你们成为丈夫与妻子所体现的合法性,由此产生合法的配偶,或者当一个人说我发誓,因此而履行誓言
