| 释义 | 〔drudge〕"Out here on the Chesapeake,they call it ‘drudging for arsters,’”says Charles Kuralt in his bookOn the Road with Charles Kuralt. The standard English verbdredge is pronounced with a centralized vowel by Chesapeake Bay oyster fishermen, yielding drudge. Drudge in turn has been picked up by city dwellers on the Delmarva Peninsula;a survey of some young people from Baltimore revealed thatthey did not even know that there was a standard English verbdredge. Kuralt gives the regional pronunciation a whimsical folk etymology with the standard meaning ofdrudge, "to do tedious, menial, or unpleasant work,” observing, "Whatever you do for a living, it's not as hard as ‘drudging for arsters.’”在切萨皮克湾那边，他们把它称之为“为捕虾做苦工，”查尔斯·库洛特在他的与查尔斯·库洛特同游 一书中谈及。 标准英语动词dredge ，在发音时其元音被切萨皮克湾捕虾渔民发成中元音，随后产生 drudge。 Drudge 又被德尔马瓦半岛一城市居民吸收；对来自巴尔的摩的一部分年轻人的调查表明，他们甚至不知道有一个标准英语动词dredge 。 对具有标准含义的drudge “做单调、卑贱或无趣工作”，库洛特给出了一个稀奇古怪的民俗语源， 他说道，“无论你以何谋生，再没有比捕虾做的工更苦的了”〔barren〕Lacking in liveliness or interest.无趣的：缺少生气或兴趣的〔boring〕 Humdrum refers to what is commonplace, trivial, or unexcitingly routine: Humdrum 指陈腐、琐碎和无趣平凡的东西： 〔boring〕Uninteresting and tiresome; dull.无聊的：无趣的和令人厌烦的；单调沉闷的〔drudgery〕Tedious, menial, or unpleasant work.See Synonyms at work 苦工：单调、卑贱或无趣的工作 参见 work〔dog〕A person regarded as unattractive or uninteresting.无趣的人：无吸引力的人，令人厌恶的人〔effort〕"What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure" (Samuel Johnson).“不费劲写出的东西常会读之无趣” （塞缪尔·约翰生）。〔tedium〕The quality or condition of being tedious; tediousness or boredom.See Synonyms at boredom 单调乏味：单调乏味的性质或状况；单调乏味或无趣 参见 boredom〔prosaic〕Lacking in imagination and spirit; dull.乏味的：缺乏想象力和灵感的；无趣的 |
