| 释义 | 〔trivial〕Trivial Pursuit is an etymologically sound name, because roads and traveling, which might involve pursuit, are involved in the origin of the wordtrivial. The history oftrivial begins with the Latin word trivium, formed from the prefixtri-, "consisting of three of the things named,” and via, "road.” Trivium meant "the meeting place of three roads, especially as a place of public resort.” Hence it also had a pejorative sense,which we express by the phrasethe gutter, as in "His manners were formed in the gutter.”The adjectivetriviālis, derived from trivium, meant "appropriate to the street corner, commonplace, vulgar.” Trivial entered Middle English in senses that need not detain us here,first being recorded in a sense identical to that oftriviālis in 1589. Shortly after thattrivial is recorded in the sense most familiar to us, "of little importance or significance.”Trivial Pursuit 从词源学的角度来看是合理的词， 因为可能涉及到追求的道路和旅行都与trivial 这个词的来源有关。 trivial 的历史从拉丁词 trivium 开始， 由前缀tri- 意思是“由三个给定的东西组成的”和 via “道路”构成。 Trivium 的意思是“三条路交汇的地方，尤指公众常去的地方”。 自此它又有了一层带贬意的意思，我们用短语贫民区里的 来表示这层意思， 如在句子”他的礼仪是在贫民区学成的”。从trivium 派生出来的形容词 trvialis 意思为“用于街道角落的，平凡的，粗俗的”。 Trvial 进入了中古英语， 当时的意思不会使我们停止不前。最早的记录是在1589年，意思与trivialis 相同。 不久以后，trivial 的意思变得与我们更接近了， 即“琐碎的，不重要的或无价值的”〔corner〕from Old French corne [corner, horn] 源自 古法语 corne [角落，角] 〔cantle〕Middle English cantel [corner] 中古英语 cantel [角落] 〔kern〕French carne [corner] 法语 carne [角落] 〔comfortable〕sat in a cozy nook near the fire;坐在靠近火的一个舒适角落；〔corner〕Designed for use in a corner:为在角落用而设计的：〔forepeak〕The section of the hold of a ship that is within the angle made by the bow and is used for trimming or for storage of cargo.船首舱：在前桨形成的角落内的船的货舱部分，用于平衡船身或贮存货物〔intime〕an intime dining corner.一个秘密的宴会角落〔inglenook〕A nook or corner beside an open fireplace.角落：敞开的壁炉边的角落〔corner〕cornered the thieves and captured them.将窃贼逼入角落并擒住他们〔nook〕A small corner, alcove, or recess, especially one in a large room.角落：小角，凹处或隐窝，尤指在一间大屋子里〔heap〕a heap of dirty rags lying in the corner.躺在角落的一堆脏破布〔corner〕A part or piece made to fit on a corner, as in mounting or for protection.角落处：使适合角落的一部分或一块，如用于安装或保护〔wicket〕from Old North French wiket [nook, wicket] * see weik- 2源自 古法国北方方言 wiket [角落，便门] * 参见 weik- 2〔carrel〕A partially partitioned nook in or near the stacks in a library, used for private study.图书馆卡坐：图书馆内供个别读者使用的在书架附近或在书架之间由隔板隔开的隐蔽的角落〔corner〕The area enclosed or bounded by an angle formed in this manner:角落：以这种方式形成的角度所包围或限制的地方： |
