| 释义 | 〔Brooks〕American literary historian, critic, and translator who wrote many books on the literary history of America, includingThe Flowering of New England (1936), for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. 布鲁克斯，范·威科：(1886-1963) 美国文学史家、批评家和翻译家。曾写有多部关于美国文学史的著作，作品有《新英格兰的繁荣》 （1936年），该书获普利策奖 〔canter〕Most of those who have majored in English literature,and many more besides,know that Chaucer'sCanterbury Tales were told by a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury to visit the shrine of England's famous martyr Thomas à Becket.Many pilgrims other than Chaucer's visited Canterbury on horse,and phrases such asCanterbury gallop, Canterbury pace, and Canterbury trot described the easy gait at which they rode to their destination. The first recorded instance of one of these phrases,Canterbury pace, is found in a work published before 1636. However, in a work written in 1631 we find a shortened form,the nounCanterbury, meaning "a canter,” and later, in 1673,the verbCanterbury, meaning "to canter.” This verb, or perhaps the noun,was further shortened, giving us the verbcanter, first recorded in 1706,and the nouncanter, first recorded in 1755. 专业是英语文学史的绝大多数人，还有许多其他的人，都知道乔叟的 坎特伯雷故事集 是由一群朝圣者在坎特伯雷的路上讲述的， 他们去那里是为了瞻仰英格兰著名的殉道士托马斯· 贝科特的神殿。除了乔叟笔下的这些朝圣者外的许多其他朝圣者也骑着马前去。一些短语，例如Canterbury gallop，Canterbury pace 和 Canterbury trot 描述了这些朝圣者在骑往他们的目的地时的缓和步态。 这些短语最早见于记录的例子Canterbury pace 发现于1636年之前出版的一部著作中。 然而，在写于1631年的一部著作中我们找到了一个缩略的形式，名词Canterbuty， 意即“慢跑”； 后来在1673年，又有了动词Canterbury, 意为“慢跑。” 这一动词，或者也许是这个名词，后来又被进一步缩写成canter, 该动词最早被记录于1706年，而名词canter 则被最早记录于1755年 〔Parrington〕American literary historian and philosopher known especially for his three-volume studyMain Currents in American Thought (1927-1930). 帕林顿，弗农·路易斯：(1871-1929) 美国文学史专家和哲学家，尤以他的三卷研究专著《美国思想的主要流派》 而闻名(1927-1930年） 〔quattrocento〕The 15th-century period of Italian art and literature.公元15世纪：意大利艺术和文学史上的15世纪 |
