The recorded history of a word is sometimes all we need to scotch conjectures as to its ultimate origins. William Lambarde, in a 1570-1576 work, suggested that the word harlot came from the name of Arletta, or "Harlothe,” William the Conqueror's mother. As we have seen, Lambarde was unnecessarily besmirching her, for the history of harlot makes clear that "prostitute" was not its first sense. In fact, the word came to mean "male lecher" before it meant "prostitute,” but by the time Lambarde wrote, "prostitute" must have been thought to have been the main sense of the word, hence his etymology. Harlot 在英语中首次出现于某部创作于约13世纪初的作品中，意指“没有固定职业的人，流浪者，乞丐，”这也是 herlot 一词由古法语转借而来的第一个主要意思。单词的历史记载通常可供我们推测该词的最初渊源，威廉·兰巴德在他于1570年到1576年间创作的作品中指出： harlot 一词来自于英王威廉一世的母亲阿莉塔或“哈洛特”的名字，我们知道，兰巴德并无需玷污英王母亲的名誉，因为 harlot 一词的历史很明白地表明“妓女”之意并非该词的第一个意思，实际上，该词在意为“妓女”之前所具备的意思是“好色的男人”，但在兰巴德创作之时，“妓女”一定已经被认为是该词的主要意思，这便是它的词源 〔provoke〕"His mother . . . endeavored to rouse him from this passive state" (Washington Irving). “他的母亲…试图使他从消极的状态中振作起来” （华盛顿·欧文）。 〔supermom〕A mother who performs the traditional duties of housework and childcare while also holding full-time employment.超级母亲：即履行做家务、看孩子等传统职责同时又拥有全日性工作的母亲〔living〕the living image of her mother.她母亲的逼真形象〔maternal〕a maternal trait.从母亲继承来的品性〔matron〕A married woman or a widow, especially a mother of dignity, mature age, and established social position.夫人，已婚妇女：结婚的妇女或寡妇，尤指有一定社会地位的、成熟年龄的、有身份的母亲〔uncle〕The brother of one's mother or father.舅舅，叔伯：父亲或母亲兄弟〔mother〕Derived from or as if from one's mother; native:本国的：从或似乎从某人的母亲处提取的；本土的：〔maternity〕from Latin māternus [maternal] 源自 拉丁语 māternus [母亲的] 〔MADD〕Mothers Against Drunk Driving.反对酒后驾车母亲协会 |
