| 释义 | 〔bylaw〕A casual glance at the wordbylaw might make one think that the element by- means "secondary, subsidiary,” especially sincebylaw can mean "a secondary law.” It is possible thatby-, as in byway, has influencedbylaw in the sense "secondary law"; however,bylaw existed long before the sense in question. The word is first recorded in 1283 with the meaning "a body of customs or regulations, as of a village, manor, religious organization, or sect.”By- in this word comes from Old Norse, as may the wordbylaw, and is related to if not identical with the element -by in the names of many places, such as Whitby, where Scandinavians settled when they invaded England during the early Middle Ages.We get the sense of this-by if we compare the related word entered as bær, b÷r, bȳr, in the standard dictionary of Old Icelandic, meaning "a town or village" in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and "a farm or landed estate" in Iceland. We thus see whybylaw would mean "a body of customs of a village or manor" and why we use the word to mean "a law or rule governing the internal affairs of an organization.”随意瞟一眼单词bylaw 可能会使人想起前缀 by- ，意为“第二位的，次要的”， 因为bylaw 意为“附属的法规”。 可能因为前缀by- 位于 byway 中， 它影响了bylaw “附属法规”这一意义； 然而bylaw 一词在上述意义产生之前早已存在。 该词最初是在1283年以“一种习俗或规章体系，如村庄、县邑、宗教组织或派系之中”这种含义记载的。前缀By- 来自古斯堪的纳维亚语中， 正如bylaw 一词在许多地名之中与后缀 -by 若不是完全一致，就是彼此相关， 如惠特比，这是斯堪的纳维亚人在中世纪早期侵入英格兰之后的定居地。如果我们将古冰岛标准字典中的相关词bær, b÷r, bȳr （在挪威、瑞典和丹麦这些国家中意为“城镇或村庄”而在冰岛意为“农场或庄园”）加以比较，就会得出后缀 -by 的含义。 我们因而可以明白为什么bylaw 一词意为“村庄或县邑的习俗体系” 以及我们为什么使用其“一种法规或规则，用于管理一个组织的内部事务”这一意义〔premise〕Either the major or the minor proposition of a syllogism, from which the conclusion is drawn.（三段论中的）前提：三段论中得出结论的主要或次要的命题〔include〕To contain as a secondary or subordinate element.含有：作为次要的、附属的成分而包含〔lesser〕Smaller in amount, value, or importance, especially in a comparison between two things:较小的，更少的，次要的：在数量、价值或重要性等方面较小的，尤其指两件东西（事情）比较而言：〔willemite〕A colorless, vitreous to resinous, often fluorescent mineral, Zn2SiO 4, a minor ore of zinc. 硅锌矿：一种无色的常发荧光的矿物，Zn2SiO 4，从玻璃状到树脂状不等，是锌的一种次要的矿砂 〔subtitle〕A secondary, usually explanatory title, as of a literary work.副标题，小标题：次要的，通常是解释性的标题，如文学作品中〔indirect〕Not directly planned for; secondary:间接的，次要的：不是打算直接取得的；第二步的：〔slipstitch〕A concealed stitch used for sewing together two layers of fabric, as with hems and facings, made by running the needle through the underside of the lesser piece and through a few threads of the main piece.暗缝线迹：一种隐蔽的针角，用于将两层织物缝在一起，如使用折边或贴边，将针沿次要的一片织物内侧缝去，在主要的一片织物上只穿过几根线〔byway〕A secondary or arcane field of study.冷门学科：一个次要的或神秘的学科领域〔overtone〕Often overtones An ulterior, usually implicit meaning or quality; an implication or a hint: 常作 overtones 次要的意义，暗示：一个隐蔽且常常含蓄的意义或特质；蕴涵或暗示：〔small〕Lacking position, influence, or status; minor:次要的：缺少地位、影响或身份的；第二位的：〔glitch〕A minor malfunction, mishap, or technical problem; a snag:小故障，小毛病：小故障，小灾祸或次要的技术问题；障碍：〔subordinate〕Belonging to a lower or inferior class or rank; secondary.次要的：下级的，级别低的；第二等级的〔unimportant〕Not important; petty.不重要的；次要的〔subdiaconate〕Latin sub- [sub-] 拉丁语 sub- [前缀，表示“从属的，次要的”] 〔bye〕A secondary matter; a side issue.次要的：第二位的事；较次要的问题〔secondary〕Minor; lesser.不重要的；次要的〔cog〕A subordinate member of an organization who performs necessary but usually minor or routine functions.从属地位的人或物：组织的从属组成部分，实行必要的但通常是次要的或常规的功能〔side〕Minor; incidental:次要的；附带的：〔in〕Used to indicate the second and larger term of a ratio or proportion:指比率：用于次要的和较大的比例或比率条件：〔smalltime〕Insignificant or unimportant; minor:无足轻重的：没有特色或不重要的；次要的：〔parody〕para- [subsidiary to] * see para- 1para- [辅助的，比…次要的] * 参见 para-1〔fringe〕A marginal, peripheral, or secondary part:次要事物（外围）：周边的、边缘的或次要的部分：〔mediagenic〕"a minor leaguer of bumptious manner and mediagenic good looks"(Larry Martz)“一个次要的联盟成员，但却奉行傲慢自负，颇受新闻媒介的注意”(拉里·马茨)〔pyromorphite〕A green, brown, or yellow mineral, Pb5(PO 4) 3Cl, a minor ore of lead. 磷氯氯铅矿：一种绿色，褐色，或黄色的矿石Pb5(PO 4) 3Cl,是铅的一种次要的矿砂 〔fractional〕a minor candidate's fractional share of the vote.一个次要的候选人的少得可怜的选票〔opuscule〕A small, minor work.小的、次要的作品〔check〕To abandon the proper game and follow baser prey.
