| 释义 | 〔doodle〕One might wonder what, if any, connection exists amongYankee Doodle, a doodlebug, and the doodle that one draws when one is bored or abstracted. The worddoodle in the latter two uses may come from a Low German word meaning "fool.”"Fool,” the first (and now probably obsolete) sense of the worddoodle to be recorded in English (1628),would seem naturally to have been used inYankee Doodle, the name of a tune composed in 1755 to mock the American colonists. However, the origin ofDoodle in this expression is unknown; it may be fromtootle, because the piece was apparently composed originally for flute or fife.In the case ofdoodlebug, it is thought that doodle, meaning "simpleton,” is the first part of the insect name.The sense "absent-minded scrawl" may come directly from the sense "fool"or from a British dialectal verb, meaning "to cheat, fritter time away,”that was derived from the noun sense "fool.”人们也许会问YonkeeDoodle， doodlebug， 和意思为心不在焉地乱涂的 doodle 之间有无联系。 单词doodle 在后两种用法中大概来自低地德语中， 意思为“傻瓜”的一个单词。“傻瓜”，doodle 的第一含义（现在可能已不再用）， 英文记载是在1628年，被用在1755年谱成的用来讽刺美国殖民者的曲子YankeeDoodle 中。 然而，在该表达中Doodle 的词源尚不清楚； 也许来自tootle， 因为该曲原本很明显是用笛子或横笛演奏的。在doodlebug 中， doodle 被认为意思为“傻瓜”， 是昆虫名的第一部分。“心不在焉地乱涂”可能直接来自“傻瓜”，或者来自英国方言动词，意为“欺骗，打发时间”的，这个动词来源于名词“傻瓜”〔plainsong〕A melody to which contrapuntal voices are added in Gregorian chant.素歌：加入对位音调的格列高利圣歌的曲子〔prelude〕A relatively short composition of the 15th and early 16th centuries written in a free style, usually for piano.随意形式写成的曲子：盛行于15世纪及16世纪早期通常为钢琴所写的相对较短的随意体乐曲〔strum〕strum chords on a guitar.用吉它弹奏曲子〔top〕She played the piece again, from the top.她从头开始重新弹这一曲子〔ode〕A choric song of classical Greece, often accompanied by a dance and performed at a public festival or as part of a drama.合唱的曲子：古典希腊合唱歌曲，常伴有舞蹈，在公众节日或作为戏剧的一部分来表演〔busker〕"A sun-warmed busker fiddles some Vivaldi near the subway exit north of the White House"(New York Times)“在白宫北面的地铁口附近，一位沐浴在阳光下的街头艺人用提琴演奏一首维瓦尔第的曲子”(纽约时报)〔vocalise〕An exercise, a composition, or an arrangement in which a performer sings sol-fa syllables or other meaningless vocal sounds rather than a text.练声曲：一种练习、曲子或排练，歌手在进行过程中演唱视唱法音节或其它一些无意义的元音，而非演唱歌曲〔vintage〕played songs that were vintage Cole Porter.弹奏的是最好的科尔·波特的曲子〔obbligato〕Not to be left out; indispensable.
