| 单词 | 驯鹿 |
| 释义 | 〔Nenets〕A member of a reindeer-herding people of the northeast European and northwest Siberian U.S.S.R.纳纳特斯人：欧洲东北部和前苏联西伯利亚西北部放牧驯鹿的一个民族的成员〔reindeer〕A large deer(Rangifer tarandus) of the Arctic and northern regions of Eurasia and North America, having branched antlers in both sexes. 驯鹿：北极、亚欧大陆和北美洲北部地区的一种大鹿（驯鹿） 雌雄两性都有分叉的鹿角 〔mukluk〕A soft boot made of reindeer skin or sealskin and worn by Eskimos.爱斯基摩皮靴：爱斯基摩人穿的海豹皮或驯鹿皮制成的软靴〔reindeer〕Old Norse hreinn [reindeer] * see ker- 1古斯堪的纳维亚语 hreinn [驯鹿] * 参见 ker- 1〔reindeer〕Although Saint Nick uses reins on his reindeerand reindeer are used to pull sleds in Lapland and northern Siberia,the wordreindeer has nothing to do with reins. The element-deer is indeed our word deer, but therein- part is borrowed from another language, specifically from the Scandinavian languages spoken by the chiefly Danish and Norwegian invaders and settlers of England from the 9th to the 11th century.Even though the Old Icelandic language in which much of Old Norse literature is written is not the same variety of Old Norse spoken by these settlers of England,it is close enough to give us an idea of the words that were borrowed into English.Thus we can cite the Old Icelandic wordhreinn, which means "reindeer,” as the source of the first part of the English word. The wordreindeer is first recorded in Middle English in a work composed before 1400. 尽管圣诞老人在他的驯鹿身上用缰绳，且驯鹿过去在拉普兰和西伯利亚北部曾被用来拖拉雪撬，reindeer 这个字却和缰绳没有任何关系。 构词元素-deer 确实是我们的单词 deer， 但是rein 这一部分是从其他语言中借用过来的， 特别是主要从丹麦和挪威的入侵者及9世纪到11世纪列英格兰定居者说的斯堪的纳维亚语借用的。尽管许多古代北欧文学都使用的古冰岛语与这些到英格兰定居的人所说的古代北欧语并不是同一变体，但它对于我们认识借进英语的词汇也是足够接近的。这样，我们便可以引用意为“驯鹿”的古冰岛语hreinn 来作为英语单词第一部分的来源。 Reindeer 最早在1400年以前所著的一部作品中以中古英语记录下来 〔deer〕Any of various hoofed ruminant mammals of the family Cervidae, characteristically having deciduous antlers borne chiefly by the males. The deer family also includes the elk, moose, caribou, and reindeer.鹿：鹿科动物中的任何一种有蹄的反刍哺乳动物，特征是雄鹿生有会脱落的角。鹿科动物也包括驼鹿、麋、北美驯鹿以及驯鹿〔caribou〕Any of several large reindeer native to northern North America.北美驯鹿：原产于北美洲北部的一种巨大的驯鹿 |
