单词 | 胡乱 |
释义 | 〔waffle〕Evasive or vague speech or writing.无聊的话:胡乱或含糊的话或写的东西〔shot〕A wild, unsubstantiated guess.瞎猜:胡乱的、没有根据的猜测〔scribble〕It is not easy to think simultaneously of the carefully crafted writings of a trained scribe and the hastily scrawled jottings referred to by the wordscribble, but the two words are related.Scribe goes back to the Latin scrība, meaning "one who has charge of things such as public records or accounts,” scrība, in turn, coming from scrībere, "to write.” The Latin word was borrowed into English directly as well as by way of Old French (scribe ), giving us Middle English scribe, first recorded in a work written probably around 1200.People do not always write with great care,especially when pressed for time,as is shown by an early use of the verbscribble in a Middle English text: "Scribled in hast with mine owne hand in default of other helpe.”Hence it is easy to see why the verbscribble came into existence. From Latinscrībere English had formed its own verb scriben, "to write,” and probably from this verb with the addition of the suffix-el, denoting diminutive, repetitive, or intensive actions, came the Middle English word scriblen (first recorded around 1456), the ancestor of our wordscribble. 不容易同时想到由经过训练的抄写员细心写出来的字体和单词scribble 所指的匆忙中胡乱的涂写, 但是这两个字是有关联的。Scribe 可追溯到拉丁文 scriba 意思是“管理公众记录或记事的人”。 scriba 反过来,来自于 scribere, 即“写”。 这个拉丁文字通过古法语(scribe )被直接借入英语,这样我们就有了中世纪英语 scribe, 大概在1200年左右第一次被写入作品中。人们不是总能非常细心地写字,尤指当时间紧凑时,就如同在一个中世纪英语文章中scribble 的早期用法似的: “缺少其它帮助时用我自己的手匆匆地乱写”。因此很容易理解为什么动词scribble 出现了。 源于拉丁文scribere ,英语也形成了它自己的动词 scriben, “写”。 并用加上后缀-el, 表示小的、反复的或者强调的行为的单词,可能衍生了那个中世纪英语单词 scriblen (最早被记录于1456年左右), 即我们现在的单词scribble 的前身 〔potshot〕reporters taking potshots at the mayor.记者们对市长胡乱加以批评〔fedayee〕from fidā’iy [one who sacrifices himself for his country] 源自 fidā’iy [牺牲,胡乱行动] 〔wild〕wild accusations; a wild guess.胡乱指控;胡乱猜测〔pothook〕Illegible handwriting or aimless scribbling.潦草的字迹:难以辨认的字迹,胡乱的涂鸦〔tumble〕tumbled the extra parts into a box.把多余部分胡乱放进盒子〔raving〕Talking or behaving irrationally; wild:乱语的,胡乱的:说话或行为不符合理性的,粗野的:〔muddle〕To push on to a favorable outcome in a disorganized way.胡乱应付过去:以毫无组织的方式应付过去而得到一个还不错的结果〔happy〕Enthusiastic about or involved with to a disproportionate degree. Often used in combination:胡乱使用…的,热衷于…的:热衷于或沉溺于某事并达到一种不相称的程度的。经常用在复合词中:〔litter〕A disorderly accumulation of objects; a pile.杂物:物品胡乱的堆积;一堆杂物〔scrabble〕To scrape or grope about frenetically with the hands.乱抓:用手胡乱的摸索或抓 |
