单词 | 被杀死 |
释义 | 〔outlaw〕The wordoutlaw brings to mind cattle rustlers and gunslingers of the Wild West, but it comes to us from a much earlier time,when guns were not yet inventedbut cattle stealing was.Outlaw can be traced back to the Old Norse word ūtlagr, "outlawed, banished,” made up ofūt, "out,” and lög, "law.” Anūtlagi (derived from ūtlagr ) was someone outside the protection of the law. The Scandinavians, who invaded and settled in England during the 8th through the 11th century, gave us the Old English wordūtlaga, which designated someone who because of criminal acts must give up his property to the crown and could be killed without recrimination.The legal status of the outlaw became less severe over the course of the Middle Ages.However, the looser use of the word to designate criminals in general, which arose in Middle English, lives on in tales of the Wild West.单词outlaw 使人联想到美国西部的偷牛贼和持枪歹徒, 然而在此之前很早这词就已存在了,那时枪还没有发明出来,但已有偷牛贼了。Outlaw 可溯源到古斯堪的纳维亚语 utlagr, 意为“非法的,被放逐的”, 由ut 意为“在…外”和 log 意为“法律”组成。 Utlagi (从 utlagr 衍生而来)形容不受法律保护的人。 在8世纪到11世纪间侵略并定居于英格兰的斯堪的纳维亚人创造了古英语词utlaga, 指由于犯罪行为而必须把财产献给皇家并且即使被杀死也不能反诉。在中世纪时期被放逐者的法律地位不如以前那么严格了。然而中世纪英语中兴起的命名罪犯总称的这种宽松用法在美国西部的传说中仍然存在〔drown〕To kill by submerging and suffocating in water or another liquid.淹死:使没于并窒息于水或其它液体而被杀死〔vaccine〕A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure that upon administration stimulates antibody production against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection.疫苗,菌苗:削弱的或被杀死的病原菌的标本,如细菌或病毒,或病原菌结构的一部分,在配药时可产生对这种病原体的抗体同时又不可能引起严重传染〔killing〕A kill; a quarry.猎物:被杀死的动物,猎物〔frighten〕"Better be killed than frightened to death" (Robert Smith Surtees). “被杀死也比被吓死强” (罗伯特·史密斯·瑟蒂斯)。 〔bullfight〕A public spectacle, performed especially in Spain, Portugal, and parts of Latin America, in which a fighting bull is engaged in a series of traditional maneuvers culminating usually with the ceremonial execution of the bull by sword.
