All civil authority and rule seems laid aside" (John F. Watson).The wordshivaree is especially common along and west of the Mississippi River, giving it an unusual north-south dialect boundary (most dialect boundaries run east-west in the United States).Alva L. Davis and Raven I. McDavid, Jr., callshivaree "one of the most widely distributed folk terms borrowed by American English from any European language.” Some regional equivalents arebelling, used in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio; horning, from upstate New York, Rhode Island, and western New England; andserenade, a term used chiefly in the South Atlantic states. Shivaree 是 charivari 这个词在美国的最普通的地方形式， charivari是个法语词，意思是“一种为新婚夫妇演奏的喧闹的嘲弄式小夜曲”，这个词本身可能是从一个意思为“头痛”的后期拉丁文演变而来。这个词极有可能是从密西西比河沿岸的法国商人和拓居者那儿借用而来，到了1805年这个词已经在美国深深地扎根了；一份可以追溯到这一年的记录描写了新奥良的演奏这种小夜曲的情况： “房子里挤满了成千从镇上来的人，喧嚷着，叫喊着，大声欢呼…许多人 化了装，带了面具，所有的人都搞出某种不和协、喧闹的音响，比如用旧水壶，铲子，钳子…一切世俗的权威和规则好象已经被放到了一边” （约翰F·华生） 。shivaree 这个词在密西西比河沿岸和该河以西尤为常见， 这样密西西比河就成了一个不寻常的方言区的南北分界线（而在美国大多数方言区的分界线都是东西向的）。阿尔瓦·L·戴维斯和小拉文·I·麦克戴维把shivaree 这个词称为“美国英语从欧洲语言中借来的民间用语中流传最广的一个”。 其它地方方言中相当于这个词的词有belling 在宾夕法尼亚州、弗吉尼亚西部和俄亥俄州流传； 纽约州上半部份，罗德岛州，新英格兰西部的horning ， 而大西洋沿岸南部各州主要用serenade 这个词 〔hot〕all hot and bothered before the opening performance.开幕式开始前，所有的人都激动不已〔nominee〕A person or an organization in whose name a security is registered though true ownership is held by another party.无所有权的证券登记者：以其名字登记某种证券，但真正所有权被另一方所有的人或组织〔population〕All of the people inhabiting a specified area.全体人员：居住于某一地区的所有的人〔strip〕"That all men . . . have certain inherent rights, of which . . . they cannot by any compact . . . divest their posterity" (George Mason).Todenude is to remove a usual or natural covering: “所有的人…有一定的继承权，对于这一继承权…无论怎样…他们不能从他们的后代身上夺走” （乔治·麦逊）。Denude 指去掉通常或自然的外表： 〔affectless〕"Mass-culture banality is killing our souls and making everybody affectless"(New Yorker)“大众文化的陈腐抹杀了我们的心灵并使所有的人都缺乏感情”(纽约人)〔place〕There is place for everyone at the back of the room.房间后面可以容纳所有的人〔though〕Wouldn't that beat all, though?那将难倒所有的人吗? |
