His works includeThe Allegory of Love (1936) and a series of fictional books for children collectively known as The Chronicles of Narnia (1950-1956). 刘易斯，克（莱武）·斯（特普尔斯）：(1898-1963) 英国作家和文学评论家。著作包括《爱情寓言》 （1936年）和一系列儿童故事集，合称 《纳尼亚记事》 （1950年至1956年） 〔scribble〕It is not easy to think simultaneously of the carefully crafted writings of a trained scribe and the hastily scrawled jottings referred to by the wordscribble, but the two words are related.Scribe goes back to the Latin scrība, meaning "one who has charge of things such as public records or accounts,” scrība, in turn, coming from scrībere, "to write.” The Latin word was borrowed into English directly as well as by way of Old French (scribe ), giving us Middle English scribe, first recorded in a work written probably around 1200.People do not always write with great care,especially when pressed for time,as is shown by an early use of the verbscribble in a Middle English text: "Scribled in hast with mine owne hand in default of other helpe.”Hence it is easy to see why the verbscribble came into existence. From Latinscrībere English had formed its own verb scriben, "to write,” and probably from this verb with the addition of the suffix-el, denoting diminutive, repetitive, or intensive actions, came the Middle English word scriblen (first recorded around 1456), the ancestor of our wordscribble. 不容易同时想到由经过训练的抄写员细心写出来的字体和单词scribble 所指的匆忙中胡乱的涂写， 但是这两个字是有关联的。Scribe 可追溯到拉丁文 scriba 意思是“管理公众记录或记事的人”。 scriba 反过来，来自于 scribere, 即“写”。 这个拉丁文字通过古法语(scribe )被直接借入英语，这样我们就有了中世纪英语 scribe, 大概在1200年左右第一次被写入作品中。人们不是总能非常细心地写字，尤指当时间紧凑时，就如同在一个中世纪英语文章中scribble 的早期用法似的： “缺少其它帮助时用我自己的手匆匆地乱写”。因此很容易理解为什么动词scribble 出现了。 源于拉丁文scribere ，英语也形成了它自己的动词 scriben, “写”。 并用加上后缀-el, 表示小的、反复的或者强调的行为的单词，可能衍生了那个中世纪英语单词 scriblen （最早被记录于1456年左右）， 即我们现在的单词scribble 的前身 〔chronicle〕A detailed narrative record or report.记事，叙述：详细的叙事记录或报告〔Windbreaker〕"Whether a trenchcoat, balmacaan or windbreaker, it is a coverup that makes sense"(New York Times)"Politicians love photo opportunities featuring helicopters, devastation and nifty windbreakers"(San Francisco Chronicle)“不管是战壕雨衣、短大衣还是风衣，至少是个管用的遮蔽”(纽约时报)“政治家喜欢以直升飞机、毁坏和时髦的防风茄克衫为主要特征的照片”(旧金山记事)〔biography〕An account of a person's life written, composed, or produced by another:传记：由他人撰写、编写或创作的某人生平记事：〔Munro〕British writer known for his witty and sometimes bitter short stories, published in collections such asThe Chronicles of Clovis (1911). 芒罗，赫克托耳·休：(1870-1916) 英国作家，以其诙谐间或伤感的短篇小说著称，这些短篇小说刊登于小说集如《克洛维斯记事》 （1911年） 〔Defoe〕British writer whose most famous novel,Robinson Crusoe (1719), was inspired by the exploits of a Scottish sailor and castaway, Alexander Selkirk. He also wrote Moll Flanders and A Journal of the Plague Year (both 1722). 笛福，丹尼尔：(1660-1731) 英国作家，其著名的小说为《鲁滨逊飘流记》 （1719年），由一个叫亚历山大·塞尔科克的苏格兰海员在荒岛上的探险经历激发灵感创作而成。他还著有 《摩尔佛兰德》 和 《疫年记事》 （都作于1722年） |
