单词 旧的
释义 〔new〕Different from the former or the old:不同于以前的,与旧的不同的:〔news〕If you take the first letters of the directions North, East, West, and South,it is true that you have the letters of the wordnews, but it is not true that you have the etymology ofnews, contrary to what has often been thought. The history of the word is much less clever than this and not at all unexpected.News is simply the plural of the noun new, which we use, for example, in the adage "Out with the old, in with the new.”The first recorded user of this plural to mean "tidings" may have been James I of Scotland;a work possibly written by him around 1437 contains the words "Awak . . . I bring The [thee] newis [news] glad.”It is pleasant to see that the first news was good.However, his descendant James I of England is the first person recorded (1616) to have said"No newis is better than evill newis,”or as we would put it, "No news is good news.”如果你取北、东、西、南四个单词各自的首字母,就得到单词news 的所有字母, 但是这并非news 的出处。 这个词的历史远比这巧妙且不是完全不可想象的。News 是名词 new 的复数形式, 举例来说,我们在谚语“旧的去了,新的来了”中使用了这个词。关于把这个词的复数作为“音讯”来用的最早记录是苏格兰的詹姆士一世,在他写的一本约1437年的书里有这样的话语“阿瓦克……,我给你带来好消息,”看到第一条是好消息是很让人高兴的。然而,他的后代英格兰的詹姆士一世却是记载(1616年)最先说出下面的话的人:“没有消息比坏消息好”或者如我们所说的“没有消息就是好消息”〔void〕issued a new passport and voided the old one.颁发新护照并把旧的作废〔revive〕resuscitating old hopes and aspirations;复兴旧的希望和愿望;〔exist〕old customs that still exist in rural areas.在农村地区旧的风俗依然存在〔spleen〕A large, highly vascular lymphoid organ, lying in the human body to the left of the stomach below the diaphragm, serving to store blood, disintegrate old blood cells, filter foreign substances from the blood, and produce lymphocytes.脾:一种较大的含丰富血组成的淋巴器官,位于人体横隔膜下胃部左侧,承担着贮存血液、分解旧的血细胞、过滤血液中异物、产生淋巴液等功能〔aged〕Being of advanced age; old.See Synonyms at elderly 老的;旧的 参见 elderly〔antiquate〕from antīquus [old] * see antique 源自 antīquus [旧的] * 参见 antique〔gray〕Old or venerable.旧的或者古老的〔revive〕To present (an old play, for example) again.重演:再次上演(例如旧的戏剧)〔used〕Not new; secondhand:旧的,用过的:〔junk〕Middle English jonk [an old cable or rope] 中古英语 jonk [旧的缆绳或绳子] 〔trade〕To surrender or sell (an old or used item), using the proceeds as partial payment on a new purchase.以(旧货)抵购(新货):放弃或卖掉(一旧的或用过的物品),将所得款项用作一购入物品的部分账款〔ditch〕ditched the old yard furniture.丢弃旧的庭院家具〔revival〕A new presentation of an old play, movie, opera, ballet, or similar vehicle.复兴,重新流行:旧的戏剧、电影、歌剧、芭蕾或类似媒介物的新出现〔wholly〕"The old American purposes are still wholly relevant"(John F. Kennedy)“美国旧的目标仍然是完全明确的”(约翰F.肯尼迪)〔hulk〕The hull of an old, unseaworthy, or wrecked ship.废船舶体:旧的,无法航行或失事了的船的外壳〔antic〕from Latin antīquus [former, old] * see ant- 源自 拉丁语 antīquus [以前的,旧的] * 参见 ant- 〔hide〕An old English measure of land, usually the amount held adequate for one free family and its dependents.海得:旧的英国土地测量单位,一般指赡养一家自由农民所必需的土地〔spiff〕spiffed up the the old storefront.把旧的店面装修一新〔disaster〕old aristocratic institutions destroyed by the revolutionary cataclysm. 已被革命剧变打破的旧的贵族统治 〔prefaded〕Given a faded, weathered, or aged appearance by artificial means. Used of clothing or fabric:先褪色的:以人工方法使显得褪色的、风化的或旧的。用于衣服或织物:〔artichoke〕Those who have been warned to watch out for the sharp-tipped bracts toward the innermost part of an artichoke may have wondered whether the name of this vegetable has anything to do with choking.Originally it did not.Our word goes back to an Arabic word for the same plant,al-Caršūf. The Arabic word passed into Spanish,a not uncommon occurrence given the fact that Moslems ruled much of Spain for several centuries during the Middle Ages.The Old Spanish wordalcarchofa was variously modified as it passed through Italian, a Northern dialect form beingarticiocco, which looks more like artichoke than al-Caršūf. In English, where the word is first recorded in the early 16th century, a potpourri of spellings and explanations of it are found.For example, people who did not know the long history of the word explained it by the notion that the flower had a "choke,”that is, something that chokes, in its "heart.”那些被告知要当心这种朝鲜蓟的最内层部分的尖苞片的人,可能会猜想这种蔬菜与窒息有一些联系。最初并没有。这个词可以追溯到阿拉伯语言关于这种植物的名称,al-harsuf。 这个阿拉伯名称又传入了西班牙,这件极普通的事情指出,在中世纪时期穆斯林曾统治西班牙大部地区,长达几个世纪的事实。旧的西班牙词alcarchofa 又经历了不同的变化,如传入意大利, 北方方言的形式形成articicco, 这看起来更象 artichoke 而非 al-harsuf。 在英语中,这个词在16世纪初被记录下来时,有许多不同的拼法和解释。例如,不知道这个词的悠久历史的人解释这个词时依据的看法是花会令人“窒息”,也就是说,是一种在它“心中”窒息的东西。〔overburden〕Sedimentary rock covering older crystalline layers.沉淀岩:覆在旧的水晶状层之上的沉积岩石〔score〕settle an old score.平反一场旧的冤情
