释义 | 〔Burnett〕British-born American writer famous for her popular children's books, especiallyLittle Lord Fauntleroy (1886), whose priggish title character dressed in black velvet with ruffled lace collars and sported long golden curls. 伯内特,弗朗西丝·伊丽莎·霍奇森:(1849-1924) 英裔美国作家,以她的流行儿童作品而出名,特别是《方特勒罗伊小爵爷》 (1886年),其中描写的自命不凡的主角穿着带皱边领子的黑天鹅绒服装,留着炫耀的金黄色的长卷发 〔Carthusian〕from Cartusia [Chartreuse, France, where the order's first monastery was built] 源自 卡突西亚 [法国沙特勒兹修道院,卡特尔教派的第一个修道院建于此地] 〔strawberry〕Izaak Walton's 1655 comment,"We may say of Angling as Dr. Boteler said of Strawberries; Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did,”is perhaps the nicest use of the wordstrawberry in its history. This history goes back much further in English to the Old English period when the word is first recorded.We know thatstrawberry was formed during that period from the Old English ancestors of our words straw and berry. What is not known is why the wordstraw is the first part of this compound. One possibility is that the small, one-seeded fruits on the surface of a strawberry resemble fragments of straw.尹扎卡·沃尔顿在1655年的评论道,“我们可以谈论钓鱼就如同包特勒医生谈论草莓;无疑地,上帝可以创造一种更好的浆果,但毫无疑问他从来没有做”,这一评论可能是strawberry 这个词在其历史上最好的用法。 在英语中,这个词的最早记录历史可更远地追溯到古英语时期。我们知道,strawberry 这个词在那时来自于我们的词语 straw 和 berry 的古英语祖先。 为什么这个复合词的前半部分为straw 无从得知。 一种可能是草莓表面小的单个种子状的果实象稻草的碎片〔provoke〕"Men blame you that you have stirred a quarrel up" (William Butler Yeats).See also Synonyms at annoy “男人们谴责你,因为你挑起了一场争端” (威廉·布特勒·叶芝) 参见同义词 annoy〔Teller〕Hungarian-born American physicist who helped develop the atomic bomb and provided the theoretical framework for the hydrogen bomb.特勒,爱德华:(生于 1908) 匈牙利裔美籍物理学家,他协助开发了原子弹并提供了氢弹的理论框架〔Ajax〕The son of Telamon of Salamis and a warrior of great stature and prowess who fought against Troy.埃阿斯:萨拉米斯的特勒蒙之子,高大而骁勇的勇士,曾参加特洛伊战争 |
