单词 | 无邪 |
释义 | 〔ingenuous〕Lacking in sophistication or worldliness; artless.纯真的,无邪的:缺乏老练或世俗的;无心计的〔pure〕Having no faults; sinless:无罪的,无邪的:没有过失的;无罪的:〔innocent〕A person, especially a child, who is free of evil or sin.无辜的人:无邪的或无罪的人,特别指儿童〔guileless〕Free of guile; artless.See Synonyms at naive 单纯的,无邪的:毫不狡诈的;天真无邪的 参见 naive〔pure〕"I felt pure and sweet as a new baby"(Sylvia Plath)“我感到像新生儿一样无邪且甜蜜”(西尔维亚·普拉斯)〔adder〕The biblical injunction to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves looks somewhat alien in the Middle English guise "Loke ye be prudent as neddris and symple as dowves.”Neddris, which is perhaps the strangest-looking word in this Middle English passage, would beadders in Modern English, with a different meaning and form. Adder, an example of specialization in meaning, no longer refers to just any serpent or snake, as it once did, but now denotes only specific kinds of snakes.Adder also illustrates a process known as false splitting, or juncture loss: the word came from Old Englishnǣdre and kept its n into the Middle English period, but later during that stage of the language people started analyzing the phrasea naddre as an addre —the false splitting that has given us adder. “象蟒蛇一样聪明,象白鸽一样无邪”的圣经训谕与在中古英语中的“象蛇一样智虑,象鸽子一样简单”的表达法看起来颇为不同。Neddris 也许是中古英语的中看起来较奇怪的一个词, 在现代英语中为adders ,意义和形式相差很大。 Adder 作为意义特殊化的一个例子,不再象从前一样表示蟒蛇或蛇, 而只表示蛇的特殊种类。Adder 同时也说明了错误分离或连音遗失的过程: 这个词来源于古英语的needre 并在中古英语中保留 n , 但是在后来的英语发展阶段,人们开始将词组a naddre 分析为 an adder --这种错误的分离给我们提供了 adder 一词 |
