注释- Tit is an old Germanic word for "small" and is used in various northern European languagesto refer to small objects, animals, or people,especially girls—for example,titta is a Norwegian dialect word for "little girl.” The word is most common in American English in combinationsthat denote various small birds,such as thetitmouse or tomtit. Atitman in the 19th century could mean a small or stunted person,as Henry David Thoreau indicates when he calls his generation "a race of tit-men.”Tit and titman are still used in New England, mostly by farmers to refer to the runt of a litter of pigs.Tit 是古日耳曼语“小”的意思, 在各种北部欧洲语言中,这个词都用来指小的物体,动物或人,尤其是女孩儿——比如,titta 是挪威方言“小姑娘”的意思。 在美国英语中这个词以复合词的形式最为常见,表示各种小鸟类,比如titmouse 或者 tomtit 。 在19世纪,titman 指小个子的人或发育不良的人,正如亨利·戴维·梭罗把他那一代人称为“一个发育不良的人组成的种族”时所指的那样。Tit 和 titman 在新英格兰地区仍在使用, 主要被农民用它来叫一窝猪中最小的一个
