| 释义 | 〔backed〕a low-backed chair; a high-backed sofa.低背椅；高背沙发〔chesterfield〕Chesterfield, a term for any type of sofa, was probably brought down from Canada, where it is common.According to Craig M. Carver inAmerican Regional Dialects, this regionalism is "unique to northern California.”The word probably comes from the name of a 19th-century earl of Chesterfieldand originally referred "specifically to a couch with upright armrests at either end.”It appears to have come into use in Canada around 1903and in Northern California at about the same time.Chester field 用来指任何一种沙发， 可能来自于加拿大，在那里这种用法相当普遍。克雷格·M·卡弗在美国地区方言 中指出， 这种方言是“加利福尼亚州北部特有的”。这个词可能源于19世纪的一个切斯特菲尔德伯爵的名字，最初用来“专指一种两侧都有垂直扶手的长沙发”。1903年前后这个词开始在加拿大被使用，大约同时也在加利福尼亚北部被使用〔subside〕To sink or settle down, as into a sofa.坐下：躺下，如坐入沙发中〔curl〕The child curled up in an armchair to read.那个小孩蜷曲在沙发里看书〔flush〕a sofa flush against the wall.See Synonyms at level 紧靠墙的沙发 参见 level〔horsehair〕a horsehair sofa; horsehair upholstery.用马鬃做的沙发；马鬃做的垫衬料〔module〕a sofa consisting of two end modules.一个由两端组合部件构成的沙发〔sofa〕A long upholstered seat usually with a back and arms.沙发：通常带有靠背和扶手的，加有座垫的长椅〔real〕"Is this place for real?

During the earlier part of the Middle Ages,Arabic culture was more advanced than that of Europe.One of the amenities of life enjoyed by the Arabs was sleeping on cushions thrown on the floor.Derived from the Arabic wordṭaraḥa, "to throw,” the word maṭraḥ meant "place where something is thrown" and "mat, cushion.”This kind of sleeping surface was adopted by the Europeans during the Crusades,and the Arabic word was taken into Italian (materasso ) and then into Old French ( materas ), from which comes the Middle English wordmateras , first recorded in a work written around 1300. The Arabic word also became Medieval Latinmatracium, another source of our word.mattress 这个词的由来是康乐设施从中东传到英国的一个小小见证。 中世纪早期，阿拉伯人的文化要比欧洲文化进步。阿拉伯人生活中享受的一个康乐设施就是睡在铺在地上的垫子上。由阿拉伯语中的词taraha “扔”派生出来的词 matrah ， 意思是“铺着东西的地方”和“垫子，沙发”。这种睡觉方式被十字军东征时期的欧洲人采用，这个阿拉伯词因此进入意大利语(materasso )和古法语( materas )。 从这两个词又引出最早出现于1300年左右的一部著作中的中古英语词汇materas 。 这个阿拉伯词同时也被收入中世纪拉丁语，即matracium ， 这也是我们这个单词的另一个来源〔mat〕possibly from Phoenician (Punic) maṭṭâ ; akin to Hebrew miṭṭa [bed, couch] 可能源自 腓尼基语（古迦太基人） maṭṭâ ；类似于 希伯来语 miṭṭa [床，沙发] 〔couch〕A sofa on which a patient lies while undergoing psychoanalysis or psychiatric treatment.长榻，躺椅：病人躺在上面进行心理分析或精神病治疗的一种沙发〔davenport〕A large sofa, often convertible into a bed.坐卧两用沙发：大沙发，经常可变换成床〔antimacassar〕A protective covering for the backs of chairs and sofas.椅背套：椅子和沙发背的保护性套子〔hog〕Don't hog the couch.不要贪心地拿那张沙发〔ottoman〕French ottomane [feminine of] ottoman [Ottoman] * see Ottoman 法语 ottomane ottoman的阴性词 [沙发型长椅] * 参见 Ottoman〔ottoman〕An upholstered sofa or divan without arms or a back.褥榻：无靠背或扶手的装垫沙发或长沙发〔glider〕A swinging couch suspended from a vertical frame.摆动式沙发椅：悬于一垂直架上的摇摆沙发〔convert〕a sofa that converts into a bed; arms factories converting to peacetime production.可改换为床的沙发；兵工厂改为平时的生产线〔settee〕A small or medium-sized sofa.小的或中等尺寸的沙发 |
