释义 | 〔doodle〕One might wonder what, if any, connection exists amongYankee Doodle, a doodlebug, and the doodle that one draws when one is bored or abstracted. The worddoodle in the latter two uses may come from a Low German word meaning "fool.”"Fool,” the first (and now probably obsolete) sense of the worddoodle to be recorded in English (1628),would seem naturally to have been used inYankee Doodle, the name of a tune composed in 1755 to mock the American colonists. However, the origin ofDoodle in this expression is unknown; it may be fromtootle, because the piece was apparently composed originally for flute or fife.In the case ofdoodlebug, it is thought that doodle, meaning "simpleton,” is the first part of the insect name.The sense "absent-minded scrawl" may come directly from the sense "fool"or from a British dialectal verb, meaning "to cheat, fritter time away,”that was derived from the noun sense "fool.”人们也许会问YonkeeDoodle, doodlebug, 和意思为心不在焉地乱涂的 doodle 之间有无联系。 单词doodle 在后两种用法中大概来自低地德语中, 意思为“傻瓜”的一个单词。“傻瓜”,doodle 的第一含义(现在可能已不再用), 英文记载是在1628年,被用在1755年谱成的用来讽刺美国殖民者的曲子YankeeDoodle 中。 然而,在该表达中Doodle 的词源尚不清楚; 也许来自tootle, 因为该曲原本很明显是用笛子或横笛演奏的。在doodlebug 中, doodle 被认为意思为“傻瓜”, 是昆虫名的第一部分。“心不在焉地乱涂”可能直接来自“傻瓜”,或者来自英国方言动词,意为“欺骗,打发时间”的,这个动词来源于名词“傻瓜”〔piccolo〕A small flute pitched an octave above a regular flute.短笛:一种音调比普通笛子高八度音的小笛子〔piccolo〕short for (flauto) piccolo [small (flute)] (flauto) piccolo的简写 [小(笛子)] 〔pipe〕A tubular wind instrument, such as a flute.管乐器:管状吹奏乐器,如笛子〔flout〕from flaute [flute] * see flute 源自 flaute [笛子] * 参见 flute〔flautist〕from flauto [flute] 源自 flauto [笛子] 〔flauta〕Spanish [flute] 西班牙语 [笛子] 〔pibroch〕from pìob [pipe] 源自 pìob [笛子] 〔pibroch〕Scottish Gaelic pìobaireachd [pipe music] 苏格兰的盖尔语 pìobaireachd [笛子音乐] |
