The first recorded instance of one of these phrases,Canterbury pace, is found in a work published before 1636. However, in a work written in 1631 we find a shortened form,the nounCanterbury, meaning "a canter,” and later, in 1673,the verbCanterbury, meaning "to canter.” This verb, or perhaps the noun,was further shortened, giving us the verbcanter, first recorded in 1706,and the nouncanter, first recorded in 1755. 专业是英语文学史的绝大多数人,还有许多其他的人,都知道乔叟的 坎特伯雷故事集 是由一群朝圣者在坎特伯雷的路上讲述的, 他们去那里是为了瞻仰英格兰著名的殉道士托马斯· 贝科特的神殿。除了乔叟笔下的这些朝圣者外的许多其他朝圣者也骑着马前去。一些短语,例如Canterbury gallop,Canterbury pace 和 Canterbury trot 描述了这些朝圣者在骑往他们的目的地时的缓和步态。 这些短语最早见于记录的例子Canterbury pace 发现于1636年之前出版的一部著作中。 然而,在写于1631年的一部著作中我们找到了一个缩略的形式,名词Canterbuty, 意即“慢跑”; 后来在1673年,又有了动词Canterbury, 意为“慢跑。” 这一动词,或者也许是这个名词,后来又被进一步缩写成canter, 该动词最早被记录于1706年,而名词canter 则被最早记录于1755年 〔peregrine〕from Medieval Latin peregrīnus [wandering, pilgrim] 源自 中世纪拉丁语 peregrīnus [四处游历的朝圣者] 〔pilgrim〕A religious devotee who journeys to a shrine or sacred place.朝圣者,朝觐者:旅行到神殿或圣地去的宗教虔诚者〔imaret〕An inn or hostel for pilgrims in Turkey.客栈,招待所:土耳其用来招待朝圣者的客栈或招待所〔canter〕after Canterbury [England, toward which pilgrims rode at an easy pace] 源自 Canterbury[英国的一个地方,朝圣者以舒缓的速度骑马去该地] 〔hospice〕A shelter or lodging for travelers, pilgrims, foundlings, or the destitute, especially one maintained by a monastic order.旅客招待所,收容所:提供给旅游者,朝圣者,孤儿或贫困者等的住处,尤指由修道会维持的〔pelerine〕French pèlerine [from feminine of] pèlerin [pilgrim] 法语 pèlerine 源自pèlerin的阴性词 [朝圣者] |
