| 释义 | 〔canter〕Ultimately from phrases such as Canterbury gallop 最终源自片语，如 Canterbury gallop 〔namesake〕From the phrase for the name's sake 源自片语 for the name's sake 〔mountebank〕from the phrase monta im banco [one gets up onto the bench] 源自片语 monta im banco [一个人起床坐到凳子上] 〔nuncle〕From the phrase an uncle 源自片语 an uncle 〔encyclopedia〕The wordencyclopedia, which to us usually means a large set of books, descends from a phrase that involved coming to grips with the contents of such books.The Greek phrase isenkuklios paideia, made up of enkuklios, "cyclical, periodic, ordinary,” and paideia, "education,” and meaning "general education, literally the arts and sciences that a person should study to be liberally educated.”Copyists of Latin manuscripts took this phrase to be the Greek wordenkuklopaedia, with the same meaning, and this spurious Greek word became the New Latin wordencyclopaedia, coming into English with the sense "general course of instruction,” first recorded in 1531.In New Latin the word was chosen as the title of a reference work covering all knowledge.The first such use in English is recorded in 1644.单词encyclopedia 对我们而言通常是指一大套书， 来源于一个涉及掌握这类书内容的短语。希腊片语enkuklios paideia 是由下列两个词组成的 enkuklios “循环的，周期性，平常的”以及 paideia “教育”， 含义是“普通教育，从字面上说就是一个想接受通才教育的人所应该学习的艺术和科学知识”。拉丁文手稿的抄录者将此片语当成了带有相同词义的希腊词enkuklopaedia ， 而该谬传的希腊词又构成为新拉丁语词encyclopaedia ， 带着其“指导教育的普遍课程”之语意又进入英语，最先记载于1531年。在新拉丁语中该词被选中作为一本覆盖各科知识的参考著作的书名。在英国首次这样的用法记载于1644年〔canard〕probably from the phrase vendre un canard à moitié [to half-sell a duck, to swindle] 可能源自片语 vendre un canard à moitié [半价出售鸭，诈骗] 〔ado〕from the phrase at do 源自片语 at do 〔rendezvous〕from the phrase rendez vous [present yourselves] 源自片语 rendez vous [介绍你们自己] 〔hobnob〕From the phrase (drink) hob or nob [(toast) one another alternately] 源自片语 (drink) hob or nob [轮流（敬酒）] 〔shinny〕Probably from the phrase shin ye [a cry used in the game] 可能源自片语 shin ye [在这种游戏中用的叫声] 〔mayhap〕From the phrase it may hap 源自片语 it may hap 〔wacky〕probably from the phrase out of whack * see whack 可能源自片语 out of whack * 参见 whack〔aitchbone〕from the phrase *an hach-boon [an aitchbone] 源自片语 *an hach-boon [一块臀骨] 〔potboiler〕From the phrase boil the pot [to provide one's livelihood] 源自片语 boil the pot [维持生计] 〔posthaste〕From the phrase haste, post, haste [a direction on letters] 源自片语 haste, post, haste [信件上的说明] 〔nickname〕from the phrase an eke name 源自片语 an eke name 〔newt〕from the phrase an eute 源自片语 an eute 〔notch〕Probably from the phrase *an otch 可能源自片语 *an otch 〔jingo〕From the phrase by jingo [used in the refrain of a bellicose 19th-century English music-hall song] 源自片语 by jingo [用于19世纪的一首好斗性的英文歌舞杂耍歌曲的叠歌中] 〔abbreviation〕A shortened form of a word or phrase used chiefly in writing to represent the complete form, such asMass. for Massachusetts or USMC for United States Marine Corps. 简写字，缩略语：单词或片语缩短后的形式，主要用于在书面语中表示完整形式，如用Mass. 替代 Massachusetts， 或用 USMC 替代 United States Marine Corps. 〔amanuensis〕from the phrase (servus) ā manū [(slave) at handwriting] 源自片语 (servus) ā manū [抄写的（奴隶）] 〔cropper〕Perhaps from the phrase neck and crop [completely] 可能源自片语 neck and crop [彻底地] 〔phrase〕A word or group of words read or spoken as a unit and separated by pauses or other junctures.片语：作为读和说的词或词组的单位，并通过暂停或其他连音隔开 |
