| 释义 | 〔choke〕"Treasury borrowing of existing savings would drive up the interest rate and choke off economic activity"(Paul Craig Roberts)“国库从现有储蓄中借款会迫使利率上升和使经济活动停滞”(保罗·克雷格·罗伯茨)〔Harris〕American public official who served as secretary of health, education, and welfare (1979-1981).哈里斯，帕特里塞·罗伯茨：(1924-1985) 担任过卫生、教育和福利官员（1979-1981年）的美国政府官员〔spoof〕When a comedian spoofs a television show or someone watches such a spoof,one is indebted to Arthur Roberts (1852-1933),a British comedian who invented a game calledSpoof, which involved trickery and nonsense.The first recorded reference to the game in 1884refers to its revival.It was not long beforethe wordspoof took on the general sense "nonsense, trickery,” first recorded in 1889. The verbspoof is first recorded in 1889 as well, in the sense "to deceive.” These senses are less widely used now than the noun sense "a light parody or satirical imitation,” first recorded in 1958,and the verb sense "to satirize gently,” first recorded in 1927.In the 1969American Heritage Dictionary the Usage Panel found both usages acceptable in writing at all levels,which seems the obvious finding since these senses had come to be so important to the use of the term.当一个喜剧演员在电视剧里表演滑稽讽刺剧或者当人们看到此类表演时，人们应当感激亚瑟·罗伯茨(1852-1933年），一个发明了叫做Spoof 剧的英国喜剧家。 此剧包括打趣和滑稽言辞。1884年第一次记载此类剧，表明它的兴起。不久以后，spoof 一词有了“傻话，哄骗”的一般意义，1889年第一次记载下来。 动词spoof 也首次记载于1889年，是“欺骗”的意义。 这些意思现在不如该词首次记载于1958年的名词意思“轻浮地讽刺模仿品和滑稽模仿作品”使用广泛，“轻浮地讽刺”的动词意义首次记载于1927年。1969年，美国词源字典 词语用法专家发现， 两种用法在许多情况下都可以接受。由于这些意思的使用已经变得相当重要，因而似乎很容易发现此种情况〔Poinsett〕American diplomat who served as minister to Mexico (1825-1829) and U.S. secretary of war (1837-1841).波因塞特，乔尔·罗伯茨：(1779-1851) 美国外交家，曾任驻墨西哥公使(1825-1829年）和美国国防部长(1837-1841年）〔argue〕"It is time to stop arguing tax-rate reductions and to enact them"(Paul Craig Roberts)“现在该是停止关于减少税率的争辩，而是把它们付诸实施的时候了”(保罗·克雷格·罗伯茨) |
