It has also given rise to various derivatives,such as the aforementioned gerundintrapreneuring, the noun intrapreneurship (as in a September 30, 1985, interview with Stephen Jobs inNewsweek : "The Macintosh team was what is commonly known as intrapreneurship—only a few years before the term was coined—a group of people going in essence back to the garage, but in a large company"),the adjectiveintrapreneurial, and another noun, intrapreneurialism ("what has become known as intrapreneurialism, where people within the corporation acquire more adventurous small business outlooks,” by Ian Hamilton-Fazy in "An Uneasy Co-existence,”Financial Times, October 23, 1984). Broad use of a word and the development of numerous derivatives are strong signals predicting staying power within the language.Intrapreneur and its spinoffs are of particular interest to etymologists and lexicographers because they illustrate the constant changes inherent in a living language.entrepreneur 一词已有150多年的历史， 于1828年从法语传入英语。但是直到最近我们才发现其在公司内部的对应人物intrapreneur ， 意为“对通过果断地承担风险和革新使想法变为有利可图的成品这一过程承担直接责任的大公司里的高级成员”。这个新造的词普遍认为应归功于业务顾问吉福德·平肖，1985年出版的名为Intrapreneuring 一书的作者； 其他人坚持其真正的发明者是经济学家 杂志的副编辑诺曼·麦克里， 虽然麦克里本人否认这一点。然而，不管其准确的起源是什么，自它开始出现以来的短短几年中，intrapreneur 一词已很快流行开来。 它同样产生了多个衍生词，例如前面提到的动名词intrapreneuring ，名词 intrapreneurship （例如新闻周刊 于1985年9月30日斯蒂芬·乔布斯的采访中： “马金托什队通常地以出色的企业运作而闻名——仅仅是这个词条被发明的几年前——一群实质上是回到汽车房的人，而现在不过是大公司的汽车房罢了”），形容词intraprenurial 以及另一个名词 intrapreneurialim （以企业运作主义出名的地方，在那儿公司内部的职员获得更为冒险的商业前景”，伊恩·汉密尔顿一费茨的“不稳定的共存”，金融时报 1984年10月23日出版）。 一个词的广泛运用以及无数派生词的产生是预示语言内部持久力的强烈的信号。词源学家以及词典编纂者对intrpreneur 以及它的派生词产生了独特的兴趣， 因为它们说明现用语言所固有的持续不断的变化〔newsweekly〕A weekly newsmagazine or newspaper that reports current events.新闻周刊：每周发行的报道时事的新闻杂志和报纸〔fleshy〕"the fleshy fringes of show business"(Newsweek)“娱乐性行业的一些轻浮之人”(新闻周刊)〔bummer〕"Now, the bad news: the book is a bummer"(Newsweek)“现在宣布坏消息：这本书失败了”(新闻周刊)〔invoke〕"Shamelessly, he invokes coincidence to achieve ironic effect"(Newsweek)See Synonyms at enforce “可耻的是，他借助于巧合来达到反讽效果”(新闻周刊) 参见 enforce〔despond〕"The outward show of fight masked a spreading inner despond at the White House"(Newsweek)“白宫外在的战斗精神掩盖了内在日益扩散的绝望情绪”(新闻周刊)〔hustle〕"the most dangerous and wide-open drug hustle of them all"(Newsweek)“他们中最危险、最擅钻空子的假药贩子”(新闻周刊)〔hype〕"hyped the country up to a purposeless pitch"(Newsweek)“刺激这个国家到一个无意义的高度”(新闻周刊)〔fracture〕"Jack Benny fractured audiences . . . for more than 50 years"(Newsweek)“杰克·本尼…五十多年来给观众带来了很多欢乐”(新闻周刊)〔honcho〕"He . . . is honchoing preparations for the forthcoming . . . economic summit"(Newsweek)“他正在为将要到来的…经济高级会谈主持筹划工作”(新闻周刊) |
