单词 | 顽皮 |
释义 | 〔rascal〕One that is playfully mischievous.淘气鬼:调皮,顽皮之人〔saucy〕Impertinent in an entertaining way; impossible to repress or control.调皮的:顽皮的;不能压制或控制的〔naughty〕Words have changes in their fortunes over time just as people and institutions do.The wordnaughty at one time might have been high on one's list as an all-purpose word similar to bad or nice. During the 16th centuryone could usenaughty to mean "unhealthy, unpleasant, bad (with respect to weather), vicious (of an animal), inferior, or bad in quality" (one could say "very naughtie figes" or "naughty corrupt water"). All of these senses have disappeared, however,andnaughty is now used mainly in contexts involving mischief or indecency. This recalls its early days in Middle English (with the formnoughti ), when the word was restricted to the senses "evil, hostile, ineffectual, and needy.”Middle Englishnoughti, first recorded in works written in the last quarter of the 14th century, was derived fromnought, which as a noun had senses such as "evil,”as a pronoun meant "nothing,”and as an adjective could mean such things as "immoral, weak, useless.”Nought was descended from Old English nāwiht, with similar senses,a compound made up ofnā, "no,” and wiht, "thing, being.” Thusnaughty, in a sense, has risen from nothing,but its fortunes have been better than they are at present.正像人们和制度那样,词随着时间改变了意思。单词naughty 曾一度作为类似于 bad 或 nice 这种通用词语而列于某人的词汇表中。 在16世纪,人们可以用naughty 来指“不健康的,不舒服的,坏的(和天气相关的),邪恶的(动物),较劣的,或质量坏的”(人们可以说“非常坏的人” 或“不健康的被污染的水”)。 然而所有的这些词义都消失了,现在naughty 主要用于关系到顽皮或不妥的上下文中。 这使人回想起它在中世纪英语的早些时候形式为naughti , 当这个词被限定为用作“邪恶的,敌意的,无用的,和贫穷的”意思。中世纪英语的noughti 最先记录于写于14世纪后二十五年的著作中, 是由nought 派生而来的, 作为名词用有“邪恶”的意思,作为代词用是“没有”的意思,和作为形容词为“不道德的,虚弱的,无用的”。Nought 是从古英语 nawiht 中传下来的, 并且有相似的意思,由na “没有”和 wiht “事情,事物”组成的合成词。 这样naughty 从某种意义上来说, 从没有中生出,但是其意思却比现在的这些意思好得多〔mischief〕The state or quality of being mischievous.顽皮:恶作剧、胡闹的状态或特性〔hoyden〕A high-spirited, boisterous, or saucy girl.顽皮姑娘:活泼的、爱嬉闹的或顽皮的姑娘〔frolic〕To behave playfully and uninhibitedly; romp.嬉戏:举止顽皮且无拘无束;嬉闹〔playful〕Full of fun and high spirits; frolicsome or sportive:爱嬉戏的,顽皮的:充满乐趣和兴致的;嬉戏的或顽皮的:〔charm〕A mischievous grin was among the child's many charms.顽皮露齿而笑是这个孩子可爱的特征之一〔lascivious〕from Latin lascīvia [lewdness, playfulness] 源自 拉丁语 lascīvia [淫荡,顽皮] 〔obstinate〕Difficult to manage, control, or subdue; refractory.难于控制的:难于管理、控制或压制的;顽皮的;倔强的〔tricksy〕Sportive; mischievous.淘气的:顽皮的,爱捣蛋的,恶作剧的〔troll〕A supernatural creature of Scandinavian folklore, variously portrayed as a friendly or mischievous dwarf or as a giant, that lives in caves, in the hills, or under bridges.巨人,巨怪:斯堪的那维亚民间传说中的超自然的生物,时而被描述成友好的或顽皮的侏儒,时而被描述成巨人,居住在山洞里、小山上或桥下〔mischief〕An inclination or a tendency to play pranks or cause embarrassment.顽皮:喜欢恶作剧或导致他人难堪的倾向或趋向〔wag〕To move (a body part) rapidly from side to side or up and down, as in playfulness, agreement, admonition, or chatter.摇动(摆动):快速地从一边到一边地或上下地运动(身体的一部分),如表示顽皮、同意、警告或聊天〔playful〕"the playful children just let loose from school" (Oliver Goldsmith).“顽皮的儿童们刚从学校中解放出来” (奥利弗·戈德史密斯)。〔playful〕"teasing and worrying with impish laughter half suppressed" (Thomas Hardy).“用顽皮笑声戏弄和使人烦恼被抑制了一半” (托马斯·哈迪)。〔naughty〕Behaving disobediently or mischievously:不听话的,顽皮的:〔Eros〕"The new playful eros means that impulses and modes from other spheres enter the relations between men and women"(Herbert Gold)“那个新出现的顽皮的厄洛斯正说明其它领域的冲动与模式已进入了男女关系”(赫伯特·戈尔德)〔playful〕"A mischievous excitability is the most obvious expression of [his face].
