Buttoothist and tooth-drawer lack the elegance of the French borrowing dentist, an elegance that is shared by other borrowings from French during the past four centuries,such asballet, champagne, coquette, coterie, and negligee. “Dentist 现在在我们的报纸里出现了， 可能常是法国吹嘘者宣传的对象；但是，我们猜测鲁特会对被称为tooth-drawer 的东西感到满意”。 在这段引自1759年9月15日的杂志爱丁堡年记 的话中， 我们看到dentist 最初是作为一个英语单词产生的， 它却起源于法语。如果我们当时在英语中构造了象dentist （它源于法语 dent ）的这样一个英语词"tooth"， 我们将会得到一个根本就不存在的形式：toothist 。 但是toothist 和 tooth-drawer 缺乏法语借用词 dentist 的高雅， 这种高雅为其他在这四百年里从法语中借用的词所共有，如ballet，champagne，coquette，coterie 和 negligee 〔educate〕To develop or refine (one's taste or appreciation, for example).培养：开发或使（如鉴赏力或喜好）变得高雅〔cultured〕Educated, polished, and refined; cultivated.有教养的，文雅的，高雅的；有修养的〔rarefied〕Elevated in character or style; lofty.高尚的：特点或风格高雅的；崇高的〔tribute〕Her home is a tribute to her good taste.她的家是她高雅品味的明证 |
