| 释义 | 〔athlete〕Athletes who believe that winning is the most important aspect of athletics have etymological support for their view,even if the way one plays the game is more important than winning a prize.The wordathlete may ultimately go back to the Greek word athlos, "contest, especially a contest for a prize.” Two other possible sources areathlon, "prize won in a contest,” and .athleus, "one who competes.” The Greek wordathlētēs, derived from at least one of these sources, meant "combatant, champion,” and was used especially for competitors in games.Our wordathlete, borrowed from Greek by way of Latin, is first recorded in Middle English (possibly before 1425) with reference to wrestlers.那些坚信体育比赛中取胜是最重要一面的运动员，有词源学根据来支持他们的观点，甚至参加运动的方式比获取奖品更重要。athlete 这个单词可以最终追溯到希腊单词 athlos “比赛， 尤指为获取奖品的竞赛。”另外两个可能的词源是athlon “体育竞赛中获得的奖品”和 athleus “参加体育竞赛的人”。 athletes 这个希腊单词至少从这些词源之一发展而来，意思是“竞技者、冠军”， 尤其用来指体育比赛中的竞技者。这个词athlete 通过拉丁语从希腊语中借用， 最早记录于中世纪英语（大约在1425年以前），用来指摔跤运动〔appurtenance〕Something added to another, more important thing; an appendage.See Synonyms at appendage 附属品：加于另外的更重要的事物上的事物；附加物 参见 appendage〔overbear〕To be more important than; outweigh.超过：比…更重要；超过〔overbalance〕To have greater weight or importance than.重于：比…更重或更重要〔magnify〕To cause to appear greater or seem more important than is in fact the case; exaggerate:夸大：使看起来比实际情况更伟大或更重要；夸张：〔promote〕To raise to a more important or responsible job or rank.使晋升：把…提拔到更重要的或更负责任的工作或职位〔underlying〕Taking precedence; prior:取得领先的；更重要的：〔grand〕Having more importance than others; principal:比其他的更重要的；主要的：〔prior〕Preceding in importance or value:更重要的，优先的：重要性或价值居先的：〔preliminary〕An academic test or examination that is preparatory to one that is longer, more complex, or more important.初试：为更长、更复杂或更重要的考试而进行的预备性学术测试或考试〔overriding〕First in priority; more important than all others:压倒一切的，首要的：首要的；比其它一切更重要的：〔overbalance〕Something that overbalances or more than equals something else.失去平衡：比其它事物更重要或超过其它物的事物〔important〕Some critics have objected to the use of the phrasemore importantly in place of more important as a means of introducing an assertion, as inMore importantly, there is no party ready to step into the vacuum left by the Communists. But both forms are widely used by reputable writers,and there is no obvious reason for preferring one or the other.In an earlier surveythe introductory use ofmore importantly was acceptable to half of the members of the Usage Panel. 一些批评家已经对短语more importantly 作为表述一个断言的方法来代替短语 more important 提出反对意见， 如在句子更重要的是，没有政党准备进入共产党留下来的真空中去。 但是这两种形式都被有声望的作家广泛使用，并且没有明显的理由说哪个比哪个更好。在早期的调查中，more importantly 的引入使用对用法专题小组的半数成员来说是可以接受的 〔appendage〕Something added or attached to an entity of greater importance or size; an adjunct.附属物，附件，附加物：附加或附在更重要或更大实体上的东西；附加物〔costly〕"Although human life is priceless,we always act as if something had an even greater price than life. . . .
