| 释义 | 〔modern〕The wordmodern, first recorded in 1585 in the sense "of present or recent times,” has traveled through the centuriesdesignating things that inevitably must become old-fashionedas the word itself goes on to the next modern thing.We have now invented the wordpostmodern, as if we could finally fixmodern in time, but evenpostmodern (first recorded in 1949) will seem fusty in the end, perhaps sooner thanmodern will. Going back to Late Latinmodernus, "modern,” which is derived frommodo in the sense "just now,” the English wordmodern (first recorded at the beginning of the 16th century) was not originally concerned with anything that could be later considered old-fashioned. It simply meant "being at this time, now existing,” an obsolete sense today.Beginning in the later 16th century, however, we see the word contrasted with the wordancient and also used of technology in a way that is clearly related to our own modern way of using the word.Modern was being applied specifically to what pertained to present times and also to what was new and not old-fashioned.Thus in the 19th and 20th centuries the word could be used to designate a movement in art,which is now being followed by postmodernism.单词modern 首次于1585年以“现在的或最近的时代”的意义被记载， 它已经历了数个世纪，表明必然会变得过时的事物，就象这个词本身也会继续走向更加现代。现在我们已发明了单词postmodern， 仿佛我们终于能及时固定住modern 的了， 但即使是postmodern （首次于1949年记载）最终也会显得过时， 也许比modern 更快。 可追溯至近代拉丁词modernus “现代的”， 源自表示“刚才”意思的modo ， 英语单词modern （首先在16世纪初被记载）原本与后来被认为过时的事物没有任何联系。 它只意味着“现时的，现存的”，今天已废弃了的一个意思。然而从16世纪晚期我们看到这个词成为ancient 的反义词并且用于科技， 其意义与我们现在使用的意义明显相关。Modern 当时特指现时的事物， 也指新的且不过时的事物。因此在19世纪和20世纪这个词能被用来表示艺术上的一个运动，现在尾随其后的是后现代主义〔initialism〕An abbreviation consisting of the first letter or letters of words in a phrase (for example,IRS for Internal Revenue Service ), syllables or components of a word ( TNT for trinitrotoluene ), or a combination of words and syllables ( ESP for extrasensory perception ) and pronounced by spelling out the letters one by one rather than as a solid word. 起首字母：包含句子中每一个字的第一个或是几个字母的缩写（例如IRS 指的是 Internal Revenue Service“内部收益服务” ）、某个字的数个音节或是其组成分子（ TNT 指的是 trinitrotoluene“强烈炸药” ）、或是数个字或数个音节的合并（ ESP 指的是 extrasensory perception“超感觉的知觉” ），并且会将一个字的组成字母一个接着一个以其拼法发音而非发出整体一个字的音 〔permatemp〕A person who works on a long-term basis without being treated as a permanent employee, especially one who agrees to a series of temporary contracts lacking the benefits of permanent employees.长期临时员工：长期工作却无固定员工福利的雇员，尤其是指接受数个临时聘约而缺乏固定员工福利的人员〔literal〕Being in accordance with, conforming to, or upholding the exact or primary meaning of a word or words.照字面的：与一词或数个词的确切或主要意义一致的；依照或维持这一意义的〔Arkwright〕British inventor and manufacturer who patented a machine for spinning cotton thread (1769) and established cotton mills that were among the first to use machinery on a large scale.阿克莱特，理查德：(1732-1792) 英国发明家和工业家，曾获棉花纺纱机专利（1769年）并建造了数个棉纺厂，均最早大规模使用机器纺纱〔Getz〕American tenor saxophonist who played in several big bands, including those of Benny Goodman and Woody Herman.
