| 释义 | 〔clever〕In the 17th and 18th centuries,in addition to its basic sense of "able to use the brain readily and effectively,” the wordclever acquired a constellation of imprecise but generally positive senses in regional British speech: "clean-limbed and handsome,” "neat and convenient to use,” and "of an agreeable disposition.”Some of these British regional senses, brought over when America was colonized,are still found in American regional speech,as in the South, whereclever can mean "good-natured, amiable,” in old-fashioned speech. The speech of New England extends the meaning "good-natured" to animalsin the specific sense of "easily managed, docile.”Perhaps it was the association with animals that gave rise to another meaning, "affable but not especially smart,”applicable to people when used in old-fashioned New England dialects.在17和18世纪时，clever 一词除了其基本含义“能够轻松、有效地用脑”外，还在英国方言中具有大量不准确但明确的含义， “身材匀称且英俊倜傥”、“整洁有序且便于使用”和“令人愉快的个性”。英国方言中的一部分含义是美国被殖民统治时传播开来，在美国方言中至今仍然可见，如在南部的旧式方言中，clever 可以表示“脾气好的、和蔼的”。 新英格兰方言把“脾气好的”意思拓展到动物，表示“易于管理的、温驯的”的特定含义。可能因其与动物有关而导致另一含义“友善但不是特别机敏”的产生，适用于使用旧式新英格兰方言的人〔beau〕from beau, bel [handsome] 源自 beau, bel [英俊的] 〔Adonis〕Often adonis A very handsome young man. 常作 adonis 美少年：很英俊的年轻男子〔convert〕a gangling adolescent transformed into a handsome adult;长成英俊青年的笨拙少年；〔good〕Attractive; handsome:漂亮的；英俊的：〔bearing〕“[Sir Thomas] More was a man of stately and handsome presence ” (Horace Walpole). “【托马斯爵士】莫尔是个威严、庄重、英俊的人 ” （霍拉斯·沃波尔）。〔wop〕from Spanish guapo [handsome, dashing, braggart, bully] 源自 西班牙语 guapo [漂亮英俊的，精力充沛的，夸耀的，绝妙的] 〔Endymion〕A handsome young man who was loved by a moon goddess and whose youth was preserved by eternal sleep.恩底弥翁：月亮女神所爱的一个英俊的年轻男子，他的青春保持在永恒的睡眠中〔beaucoup〕beau, bel [fine, handsome] * see beau beau, bel [好，英俊] * 参见 beau〔bibelot〕from Latin bellus [handsome] * see belle 源自 拉丁语 bellus [英俊的] * 参见 belle〔haggard〕"I was shocked to see the worn look of his handsome young face" (Charles Dickens).“我看到他那张年轻英俊的脸上显出憔悴的神色，十分地吃惊” （查尔斯·狄更斯）。〔Krishna〕The eighth and principal avatar of Vishnu, often depicted as a handsome young man playing a flute.克利须那，黑天：毗湿奴的第八个和主要的化身，经常被描绘成一个吹笛的英俊年轻人〔strong〕"proud of her stalwart, good-looking son" (Booth Tarkington).“为她强健英俊的儿子感到自豪” （布斯·塔金通）。〔pretty〕Middle English prety [clever, fine, handsome] 中古英语 prety [聪明的，好看的，英俊的] |
