Sincejoke was originally considered a slang or informal usage, it was not suitable to all contexts.The change in status ofjoke from then to now provides us with an excellent example of how usage changes. Joke has a decent enough heritage at any rate, coming from Latiniocus, "jest, sport, laughingstock, trifle.”Iocus in turn can be traced back to the Indo-European root yek-, meaning "to speak,” from which also comes the Umbrian wordiuka, "prayers,” and the Welsh wordiaith, "speech.” 我们很难想象英语中如果没有joke 这个词会怎样， 但是joke 在1670年才首次有文字记载。 因为joke 起初被认为是俚语或非正式用语， 以前它并不是在所有的文章中都适用的。从那时到现在joke 地位上的变化给我们提供了一个关于语言用法如何变化的极好的例子。 不管怎样joke 的词源算得上很体面， 它来自于拉丁语中iocus 一词， 表示“玩笑，游戏，笑柄，琐事”。Iocus 反过来又可追溯到印欧语系中的词根 yek- 表示“说话”， 从这个词根还派生出翁布里亚语中iuka 一词，即“祈祷”， 以及威尔士语中iaith 一词，即“讲话，演说” 〔tidbit〕"The book is chock-full of colorful tidbits about theater and theater people"(Alec Guinness)“这本书里充满了关于剧院和剧院里的人的有趣琐事”(亚历克·吉尼斯)〔occurrence〕"Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves" (Victoria).“伟大的 事件使我平静和从容；只有那些琐事才令我心烦” （维多利亚）。〔squabble〕A noisy quarrel, usually about a trivial matter.争吵：常指由琐事而引发的吵闹和争执〔chatter〕To talk rapidly, incessantly, and on trivial subjects; jabber.不停地谈：急快地、不停地谈论琐事；急促含糊地说〔overtop〕"Religion overtopped the common affairs of life"(Albert C.
