| 释义 | 〔Dorian〕One of a Hellenic people that invaded Greece around 1100b.c. and remained culturally and linguistically distinct within the Greek world. 多利安人：古希腊民族，大约公元前 1100年入侵希腊，在文化和语言上与希腊仍有差别 〔curmudgeon〕The etymology of the wordcurmudgeon has eluded us for at least two centuries, although some lexicographers have thought the solution was at hand, one to his embarrassment.When Samuel Johnson stated in his famous dictionary of 1755 thatcurmugeon "is a vicious manner of pronouncing c÷ur méchant, Fr. an unknown correspondent,” he was giving credit to an anonymous writer for the statement thatcurmudgeon came from French c÷ur, "heart,” and méchant, "evil.” Another lexicographer, John Ash, following in Johnson's tracks though none too carefully,gave the etymology a bit differently in his dictionary of 1775:"from the Frenchc÷ur unknown, and mechant a correspondent"; thus misinterpreting Johnson's attribution as a gloss for the French.Although its origin is unknown,curmudgeon has been around for some time, being first recorded in a work published in 1577. 单词curmudgeon 的词源已经使我们困惑了至少有两个世纪， 虽然有些词典的编辑者已经认为快找到解决方式了，但仍使某些人局促不安。当塞缪尔·约翰逊在他的举世闻名的1755年词典中指出Curmugeon “是对 cour mechant 这一法语词语的错误发音方式（它意指不知名的通讯记者）”时， 他认同一位不署名作家认为curmudgeon 一词来自法语 cour “心”和 mechant “罪恶”的陈述是正确的。 另一个名叫约翰·艾什的词典编辑者承袭了约翰逊的思路，但他也并非很严格地遵循，在他的1775年词典中对该词源作了稍有差别的解释： “从法语cour （不知名的）和 mechant （一名通讯记者）而来”； 由此他误解了约翰逊对于法语的译注。虽然该词词源未知，curmudgeon 已有了一定的历史，它首次被记录于1577年出版的一部作品中 〔advance〕 In the figurative sense, moreover, there is a distinction between the two terms deriving from the transitive and intransitive forms of the verbadvance. The nounadvancement (unlike advance ) often implies the existence of an agent or outside force. Thus,the advance of science means simply the progress of science, whereasthe advancement of science implies progress resulting from the action of an agent or force: 然而，在比喻义上，源自动词advance 的及物和不及物形态的两个词之间具有差别。 名词advancement （不象 advance ）通常暗含行为或外部力量的存在。 因此科学的进步 简单地意味着在科学上取得的进步， 而科学的进展 暗指源自行为和力量的进步： |
