释义 | 〔mill〕Industrial mill towns are a far cry from the small water mill grinding grain near an Anglo-Saxon settlement,but the same wordmill is used in both contexts, showing how the meaning of a word can be generalized.The Old English wordmylen, "water mill for grinding grain,” is itself adopted from Late Latinmolīna or molīnum, "mill,” just as the Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons, adopted the water mill from the Romans.In Middle Englishmilne, the descendant of the Old English word, was generalized to refer to a windmill, any power-driven mill for grinding grain, and a fulling mill.But it was left for the postmedieval,increasingly industrialized world really to generalize the meaning ofmill, applying it to machines such as pepper mills and cider millsand buildings such as textile mills and steel mills.Mill town is first recorded in 1847. 工业化的制造区与原来盎格鲁-撒克逊人居住地附近那种靠水力推动来磨谷物的小型磨臼大不相同,但mill 这个词对这两种情况都适用, 这可以体现出某一词汇的意思是可以有概括性的。古英语中mylen 一词有“磨谷物的水磨”的意思, 这个词由后期拉丁语中的molina 或 molinum 而来,意为“磨臼”, 正如日尔曼民族中的盎格鲁-撒克逊人从罗马人那里引进了水磨。中古英语中milne 一词由古英语词而来, 它的词义已扩大,可指风车、任何靠动力驱动来磨谷物的磨以及缩洗机。不过在中世纪晚期,不断发展的工业化世界真正使mill 这个词在意义上有所扩大, 它可以指胡椒研磨机或苹果榨汁机等机器,也可以指纺织厂或钢铁厂等工厂。Mill town 这个词最早见载于1847年 〔juicer〕An appliance that is used to extract juice from fruits and vegetables.榨汁机,榨汁器:用来榨取水果和蔬菜的汁液的器具〔winepress〕A machine or device that presses the juice from grapes.榨汁机,葡萄压榨机:压榨葡萄使之出汁的机器或装置〔mill〕A machine that releases the juice of fruits and vegetables by pressing or grinding:榨汁机:通过挤压或碾磨榨出水果或蔬菜汁液的机器: |
