He became so closely associated with the inhabitants of that citythat the Venetians became popularly known asPantaloni. Consequently, among the commedia dell'arte's stock characters the representative Venetian (a stereotypically wealthy but miserly merchant) was calledPantalone. His name in French,Pantalon, was borrowed into English (first recorded around 1590). During the middle of the 17th centurythe French came to identify him with one particular style of trousers,and this same style became known aspantaloons in English. Pantaloons was later applied to another style of trousers that came into fashion toward the end of the 18th century, tight-fitting garments that had begun to replace knee breeches.After thatpantaloons was used to refer to trousers in general. The last step in the development of the wordpants met with some resistance. This abbreviation ofpantaloon was considered vulgar and, as Oliver Wendell Holmes put it,"a word not made for gentlemen, but ‘gents.’”First found in the writings of Edgar Allan Poe in 1840,pants has replaced the "gentleman's word" in English and has lost all obvious connection to Saint Pantaleon.看起来一位公元4世纪的罗马天主教徒的名字似乎不可能是这个做为男人和女人平常都穿的布做的现代物品的根本词源。Pants 但可以追溯到奥塔莱昂,威尼斯的庇护神。 他变得与这座城市里的居民联系得这样紧密,以至于威尼斯人也通俗的被称为Pantaloni 。 结果,在即兴喜剧的角色中那个有代表性的威尼斯人(一个愚富而吝啬的商人)被称作Pantalone。 他的法语名字Panlalon 被借用到英语中(初次记录大约在1590年)。 在17世纪中期,法国人开始把它与一种特殊类型的裤子等同起来,同一种类型的裤子在英语中是pantaloons 。 Pantaloons 后来被用作另一种类型的裤子并在18世纪末日渐流行, 紧身衣服已经开始取代齐膝马裤。在那以后,pantaloons 被用来泛指裤子。 在pants 一词发展的最后遇到了一些阻力。 Pantaloon 的缩写被认为是粗俗的, 并且正如奥立弗·温德尔·霍姆斯所说,“并不是为绅士而造的词,而是为‘家伙们所造’”。最早在1840年发现于艾德加·爱伦·坡的作品中,pants 在英语中已经替代了那个“绅士的语言”, 而且显然已失去了和圣奥塔莱昂的一切联系〔caballero〕A Spanish gentleman; a cavalier.西班牙绅士:西班牙绅士;绅士〔ban〕bay [rich] ; akin to Turkish bay [rich, gentleman] bay [富人] ;类似于 土耳其语 bay [富人,绅士] 〔gentleman〕"He's too much a gentleman to be a scholar"(Aphra Behn)“与其说他是学者倒不如说他是一位绅士”(阿芙拉·贝恩)〔proper〕a proper lady; a proper gentleman.一位有教养的淑女;一位有教养的绅士〔Chesterfield〕English politician and writer best known forLetters to His Son (1774), which portrays the ideal 18th-century gentleman. 切斯特菲尔德伯爵:英国政治家和作家,最有名的著作为《致儿书信》 (1774年),书中描绘了18世纪的理想绅士 〔outwardly〕outwardly a perfect gentleman.表面上完美的绅士〔esquire〕A male belonging to the gentry in England and ranking directly below a knight.绅士:士族地位次于骑士的或在中上阶层有一定社会地位的男士〔probity〕"He was a gentlemanly Georgian, a person of early American probity"(Mary McGrory)See Synonyms at honesty “他是一个绅士型的佐治亚人,一个具备早期美国德行的人”(玛丽·麦格罗里) 参见 honesty〔jolly〕Her grandfather is a jovial, ruddy-faced old gentleman.她的教父是一位脸色红润的幽默老绅士。〔gentleman〕A man of gentle or noble birth or superior social position:绅士:有身份的、出身高贵的或有较高社会地位的男子:〔perfect〕a perfect circle; a perfect gentleman.标准圆;十足的绅士〔boyar〕from Turkic baylar [pl. of] bay [rich] ; akin to Turkish bay [rich, gentleman] 源自 突厥语 baylar bay的复数 [富裕的] ;类似于 土耳其语 bay [富人,绅士] 〔milord〕An English nobleman or gentleman.英国绅士:英国贵族或绅士 |
