单词 | 飘扬 |
释义 | 〔stream〕The banner streamed in the breeze.旗帜在微风中迎风飘扬〔rattle〕A large proportion (86 percent) of the Usage Panel approved the use of the verbrattle in the sense "to unnerve" in the first edition ofThe American Heritage Dictionary, published in 1969. But we may ask how the verbrattle came to have such a sense. The earliest use of the word is found in a name,Johannes Ratellebagg, recorded in a document of around 1273; the earliest use of the word as a common noun (in the sense "to flap, used of a banner") is found in a work written about 1300and copied in manuscript around 1330.It is thought that the word probably comes from Middle Dutchratelen, which may be imitative in origin. In any case,the wordratelen was used mainly in intransitive senses such as "to make a rattling sound.”Already in Middle English, however, the transitive sense "to babble something" existed,and other transitive senses,as in "to make something rattle,” "to stir up, rouse,” "to drive in a rapid, rattling manner,” came into existence from the 16th century on.The transitive sense "to unnerve,”that is, "to make somebody rattle,” is first found in an American work of 1869.词语用法专题小组中有相当一部分人(百分之八十六)都同意rattle 这个词有“使人不安”的意思, 1969年出版的美国经典辞书 第一版收录了这一意思。 但人们不禁要问动词rattle 为何有了这个意思。 该词最早的使用发现于1273年前后记载的一个文件中的Johannes Ratellebagg 这个名字中; 1300年这个词第一次被用作普通名词(意为“飘扬,用于旗帜”),1330年又见于手抄的印本中。人们认为这个词可能来自原来可能是拟声词的中古德语ratelen 。 不过无论怎样,ratelen 这个词本来只是作为不及物动词来使用, 如发出嘎嘎声等意思。在中古英语中,“含糊不清地说出”这一及物动词的意思就已存在,该词其它的及物意思,如“使发出嘎嘎声”、“激起,唤醒”“嘎嘎响地急速向前拖”从16世纪开始就形成了。及物意思“使不安,”即“使某人惊慌”首先出现于1869年的美国作品中〔pennon〕from Old French penon [streamer, feather of an arrow] [augmentative of] penne [feather] 源自 古法语 penon [飘扬的旌旗,窄的羽毛] penne的增义成分 [羽毛] 〔fly〕pennants flying from the masthead.在桅顶飘扬的信号旗〔flap〕banners flapping in the breeze.旗帜在微风中飘扬〔standard〕An emblem or flag of an army, raised on a pole to indicate the rallying point in battle.军旗:军队的象征或旗帜,飘扬在旗杆上表明战争地点〔jack〕A small flag flown at the bow of a ship, usually to indicate nationality.舰首小旗:在船首飘扬的小旗,用来表示国别〔stream〕To extend, wave, or float outward:飘扬:向外地延伸,波动或浮动:〔Sousa〕American bandmaster and composer who wrote comic operas and marches such asStars and Stripes Forever (1897). 苏泽,约翰·菲利普:(1854-1932) 美国乐队指挥和作曲家。他创作了大量喜剧歌剧及进行曲,后者如《星条旗永远飘扬》 (1897年) 〔kite〕A light framework covered with cloth, plastic, or paper, designed to be flown in the wind at the end of a long string.风筝:用布、塑料或纸覆盖的轻质构架,系在长绳的尾端,为能在风中飘扬而设计〔trail〕Trails of ticker tape floated down from office windows.悬挂飘扬在办公室窗口的彩色纸带〔trail〕To allow to drag or stream behind, as along the ground:拖曳:让…拖或飘扬在后面,如沿着地面: |
