单词 | 臆想 |
释义 | 〔subjective〕Existing only in the mind; illusory.臆想的,虚幻的〔edit〕The wordedit is often cited as an example of back-formation. In other words, edit is not the source ofeditor, asdive is of diver, the expected derivational pattern;rather, the reverse is the case. Edit in the sense "to prepare for publication,” first recorded in 1793,comes fromeditor, first recorded in 1712 in the sense "one who edits.”There is more to the story, however. Edit also partly comes from the French wordéditer, "to publish, edit,” first recorded in 1784.In the case ofedit, two processes, borrowing and back-formation, have thus occurred either independently or together,perhaps one person takingedit from French originally, another fromeditor, and yet a third from both.单词edit 常用来作为逆构词的一个范例, 换句话说, edit 并不是editor 的语源, 就象dive 不是 diver 的语源, 这是我们臆想中的派生模式;当然,这种逆构词只是一种范例而已。 Edit 作为“准备出版物”的意义最早记录于1793年,这是从editor 来的, 它在1712年就以“编辑者”的意义首次记录。但这里还有更多的故事。 Edit 的一部分来源于法语词éditer ,即“出版、编辑”, 它最早记录于1784年。在edit 这个词中含有两种造词过程,外借和逆构, 可能是分开进行也可能是同时起作用,或许一个人从原法语词中借用了edit 这个字, 而另一人则从editor 中造出新字, 第三个人却从两个词源中得到这个字〔immaterial〕imaginary and insubstantial victories;臆想和空想的胜利;〔Eleatic〕Of or characteristic of the school of philosophy founded by Xenophanes and Parmenides and holding the belief that immutable being is the only knowable reality and that change is the subject of mere opinion.埃利亚学派的:关于色诺芬尼和巴门尼德创立的哲学学派的或以此学派为特征的,这个学派认为不动的存在是唯一可知的事实而变化是人的观点的主观臆想〔airy〕Speculative, visionary, and often impractical:想象的:臆想的、幻想的、常为不切实际的:〔break〕"No one would have dared to break into his abstraction"(Alan Paton)“没有人胆敢打断他的臆想”(艾伦·佩顿)〔neurosis〕Any of various mental or emotional disorders, such as hypochondria or neurasthenia, arising from no apparent organic lesion or change and involving symptoms such as insecurity, anxiety, depression, and irrational fears.神经官能症:各种精神或情绪紊乱,如臆想病或神经衰弱,并不是由明显的器官损害或改变引起。表现为无安全感、焦虑、忧郁和无理智的恐惧感等症状 |
