| 释义 | 〔Arnold〕British educator and historian who as headmaster of Rugby School (1827-1842) introduced classes in mathematics, modern languages, and modern history into the classical curriculum.阿诺德，托马斯：(1795-1842) 英国教育家和历史学家，在他担任卢格比公学校长（1827-1842年）时，在文科课程中引进了数学，现代语言和现代历史课程〔track〕To assign (a student) to a curricular track.指定课程：将（一学生）分到分轨制课程中去〔hard〕Physics was the hardest of my courses. Thermodynamics is a hard course to teach.物理学是我所学课程中最难理解的一门；热力学是非常难教的一门课〔flunk〕To expel or be expelled from a school or course because of work that does not meet required standards.除名，退学：因考试成绩不合格而从学校或该门课程中除掉或被除掉学习资格〔laconic〕As the study of the classics has disappeared from the curriculum,so has the ready understanding that terms such aslaconic once possessed. Laconic, which comes to us via Latin from Greek Lakōnikos, is first recorded in 1583with the sense "of or relating to Laconia or its inhabitants.”Lakōnikos is derived from Lakōn, "a Laconian, a person from Lakedaimon,”the name for the region of Greeceof which Sparta was the capital.The Spartans, noted for being warlike and disciplined, were also known for the brevity of their speech,and it is this quality that English writers still denote by the use of the adjectivelaconic, which is first found in this sense in 1589. 当古典研究从学校的课程中消失的时候，人们对于诸如laconic 之类的曾经黯熟的词汇的本来理解也同时失去。 Laconic 这个词是从希腊文 Lakonikos 经拉丁文流传下来的， 它第一次出现于1583年，意思是“拉哥尼亚的或拉哥尼亚居民的”。Lakonikos 源于 Lakon ， 意为“一个拉哥尼亚人，来自拉栖第梦的人”，它是希腊的一个地区名，斯巴达是其首府。以好战和纪律严明闻名的斯巴达人也同样因为言简意赅而闻名，laconic 这个词从1589年起被发现有言简意赅的意思起直到今天仍然被英国作家用来表示这一意思 |
