This word was borrowed into English,being first recorded in 1837.The French word had been borrowed before,perhaps only briefly,as a shortening of the French phrasemenu peuple, "the common people.” This usage, however, is recorded in only one text, in 1658.“一个庞大的菜单”这一说法可能会被看成是一种矛盾的修辞法，如果人们从语源学角度对这个词进行限制的话。Menu 这个词的词源可上溯到拉丁词 minutus， 意为“尺寸、数量或程度小的”，或者“具备或涉及到精细知识的。”这个拉丁词minutus 而后又成为古法语单词 menut 和现代法语单词 menu， 意为“小的、精巧的、琐碎的、详细的。” 这个法语形容词逐渐被用作名词，意为“细节、诸多细节”及“详细的名单”。就这样，它被用于词组menu de repas， 意为“一张菜肴明细单”， 后来这个词组又被简略为menu。 这个简略词被引入英语中，最早出现于1837年。这个法语单词以前也曾被英语借用过，但也许只用了很短一段时间，而且是作为意为“普通民众”的法语词组menu peuple 的简略词。 然而这一用法仅在1658年的一篇文章中出现过〔craft〕Craft has been used as a verb since the Old English period and was used in Middle English to refer specifically to the artful construction of a text or discourse.In recent years,crafted, the past participle of craft, has enjoyed a vogue as a participle referring to well-wrought writing. This may be a sign that the Jamesian conception of the literary muse has begun to yield to a Trollopian conception of literature as a kind of intellectual handicraft;or it may indicate little more than the desperation with which book reviewers seize on any novel adjective.In any event, the usage is more acceptable when applied to literary works than to other sorts of writing,and more acceptable as a participle than as a verb.It was acceptable to 73 percent of the Usage Panel in the phrasebeautifully crafted prose. By contrast, only 35 percent of the Panel accepted the sentenceThe planners crafted their proposal so as to anticipate the objections of local businesses. Craft 这一词语在古英语时期就被用作动词， 在中古英语中它被用来指某一课文或论述的精巧句法结构。近几年来，crafted 即 craft 这一词的过去分词被广泛用于描述写作佳品。 这可能是詹姆士文学灵感观念开始让位于作为一种智力创作技巧的特罗洛普文学观念的一个信号；或者它也有可能暗示了书评作者们对采用小说修饰语的进一步失望。不管怎样，把它用于指文学作品比用于指其它类型的写作更易被人接受，而用作分词比用作动词更易被人接受。用法专题使用小组中73%的成员认同它在精美构思的散文 这一短语中的用法。 与此相反，只有35%的成员认同它在策划者们制订计划以预防地方商业的阻挠 这一句子中的用法 〔swing〕To have a subtle, intuitively felt rhythm or sense of rhythm.具有轻盈的节奏：具有精巧的、直观的节奏或节奏感〔cadenza〕An extended virtuosic section for the soloist near the end of a movement of a concerto.华彩段：音乐会发展到尾声时独唱者加上的精巧的片段〔Porter〕American writer known for her carefully crafted short stories as well as her novelShip of Fools (1962). 波特，凯瑟琳·安妮：(1890-1980) 美国作家。以其构思精巧的短篇小说以及其长篇小说《愚人船》 （1962年）而著名 〔ingenuity〕Imaginative and clever design or construction:巧妙，精巧：具有想象力的和机智的设计或构造：〔yacht〕Any of various relatively small sailing or motor-driven vessels, generally with smart, graceful lines, used for pleasure cruises or racing.游艇：一种用帆或电力驱动的小型船只，通常造型精巧、线条流畅，用以娱乐的巡游或比赛〔Spode〕A trademark used for a brand of fine china and earthenware.斯波德牌精巧的瓷器或陶器的商标品牌〔ingenious〕Having or arising from an inventive or cunning mind; clever:精巧的：由一个创造性的或狡猾的头脑产生的；聪明的：〔masterful〕Revealing mastery or skill; expert:精巧的，熟练的：显露出技术熟练或精湛的；专业的：〔workmanship〕a silver tray of excellent workmanship.制作极为精巧的银盘〔fine〕Exhibiting careful and delicate artistry:精巧的：展现精心、精美的工艺的：〔lightness〕Delicacy or subtlety in craft, performance, or effect.精巧：优美或精妙的手艺、表达或效果〔curious〕Accomplished with skill or ingenuity.技艺熟练的，精巧的 |
