| 释义 | 〔trump〕The history of the wordtrump gives meaning to this seemingly nonsensical word and also relates to the history of the game of bridge.Trump is an alteration of the word triumph used in special senses that are now obsolete. These senses, first recorded in a sermon of 1529 by the English prelate Hugh Latimer, are "a card game" and "trump" as it is used in card games.In the same 1529 textone may find the first instances oftrump, used in the same two senses as triumph. Fromtrump and other games came the card game whist, which in turn developed into bridge.The termtrump survived even though the game of trump did not. trump 一词的历史赋予这一看似荒唐的词以意义， 同时它也与桥牌的历史相联系。在triump 的一些现已过时的特殊意义中 trump 可与之换用。 这些意义便是牌戏中所用的“牌戏”和“王牌”，它们首次记载于英格兰高级教士拉蒂默1529年的一篇布道中。在1529年的同一篇文章中，我们可找到trump 被用于 triump 的这两个意义的例子。 从trump 和其它游戏产生了牌戏， 而后又发展成为桥牌。尽管特拉普这一牌戏已不复存在，但trump 一词留存至今 〔insult〕an absurd speech that insulted the intelligence of the audience.侮辱听众智力的荒唐演说〔malapropism〕Ludicrous misuse of a word, especially by confusion with one of similar sound.荒唐的用词错误：对某词荒唐地误用，尤指对同音或近音词的误用〔farce〕A ludicrous, empty show; a mockery:闹剧：一种荒唐的、空洞的表演；一个笑柄：〔insane〕Very foolish; absurd:蠢极的：非常愚蠢的；荒唐的：〔imitate〕In private the candidate mimicked his opponent's stammer.
