单词 | 准备出版 |
释义 | 〔redact〕To make ready for publication; edit or revise.准备出版;编辑,修改〔stylebook〕A book giving rules and examples of usage, punctuation, and typography, used in preparation of copy for publication.排印手册:说明铅字、标点符合、字体等印刷规格及给出例子的书,在准备出版印刷时使用〔edit〕The wordedit is often cited as an example of back-formation. In other words, edit is not the source ofeditor, asdive is of diver, the expected derivational pattern;rather, the reverse is the case. Edit in the sense "to prepare for publication,” first recorded in 1793,comes fromeditor, first recorded in 1712 in the sense "one who edits.”There is more to the story, however. Edit also partly comes from the French wordéditer, "to publish, edit,” first recorded in 1784.In the case ofedit, two processes, borrowing and back-formation, have thus occurred either independently or together,perhaps one person takingedit from French originally, another fromeditor, and yet a third from both.单词edit 常用来作为逆构词的一个范例, 换句话说, edit 并不是editor 的语源, 就象dive 不是 diver 的语源, 这是我们臆想中的派生模式;当然,这种逆构词只是一种范例而已。 Edit 作为“准备出版物”的意义最早记录于1793年,这是从editor 来的, 它在1712年就以“编辑者”的意义首次记录。但这里还有更多的故事。 Edit 的一部分来源于法语词éditer ,即“出版、编辑”, 它最早记录于1784年。在edit 这个词中含有两种造词过程,外借和逆构, 可能是分开进行也可能是同时起作用,或许一个人从原法语词中借用了edit 这个字, 而另一人则从editor 中造出新字, 第三个人却从两个词源中得到这个字 |
