| 单词 | 一脚 |
| 释义 | 〔pilot〕The pilot of an aircraft flying through the air has a foot on the ground not literallybut etymologically.If we poke around in the etymological soil for the roots of the wordpilot, we find that it goes back to the Indo-European rootped-, meaning "foot.” From the lengthened-grade suffixed formpēdo- came the Greek word pēdon, "blade of an oar,” and in the plural, "rudder.” In Medieval Greekthere is assumed to have existed the derivativepēdōtēs, "steersman,” which passed into Old Italian and acquired several forms,includingpedota, and pilota, the form that was borrowed into Old French aspilot. English borrowed the word from French,and aspilot it has moved from the water to the air, first being recorded in 1848 with reference to an airborne pilot—a balloonist.飞行员一脚踩地飞进天空这句话字面上虽讲不通，但在词源上却可以。如果为找到pilot 的根源而溯其词源， 我们会发现它源自印欧语系词根ped- 意为“脚”。 从加长的这个词根的后缀形式pedo- 我们得到希腊词语 pedon “桨叶”及复数形式，“舵”。 在中世纪的希腊，据称曾存在派生词pedotes “舵手”， 该词进了古意大利语并添了一些形式，包括pedota 和 pilota ， 这些形式被法语借用过来，便成了pilot 。 英语又借自法语，随着pilot 从水上被移用到天上， 于1848年第一次用来指天上飞行员——热气球驾驶员〔skip〕To move by hopping on one foot and then the other.跳：通过一会儿这只脚跳然后另一脚跳来移动〔salchow〕A move in figure skating in which the skater jumps from one skate, completes a full rotation, and lands on the other skate.（花样滑冰中的）后内结环一周跳：花样滑冰中，运动员一脚起跳，完成一周后一脚落地〔ride〕To keep partially engaged by slightly depressing a pedal with the foot:（连续的）踩：把一脚始终不断地紧踩着踏板：〔sauropod〕-poda [-pod] -poda [后缀，表“一脚”] 〔step〕The distance traversed by moving one foot ahead of the other.一步的距离：放置一脚在另一脚前面跨过的距离 |
