牛津词典有bug!这些短语不是莎士比亚发明的
常被拿来当做早期词语用法的参考,尽管这些词可能在更早之前被那些不是那么有名,或者不是那么具有文学性的人使用过了。[/cn] 那么究竟有哪些短语明明不是莎翁发明,却把功劳归于他了呢?我们来举几个例子: [en]'Its' all Greek to me,' which appears in playwright Robert Greene's The Scottish History of James The Fourth before in Julius Ceaser.[/en][cn]“如闻天书”在《凯撒大帝》之前就已经出现在罗伯特·格林的《苏格兰史:詹姆斯四世》中。[/cn] [en]'A wild goose chase,' is credited as first appearing in Romeo and Juliet by the OED, but it had appeared at least six times in English poet Gervase Markham's book about horsemanship a few years earlier in 1593.[/en][cn]“徒劳无功”在《牛津英语词典》中被认为是第一次出现在《罗密欧与朱丽叶》里,但是这个短语1593之前几年就在英国诗人哲瓦斯·马克汉姆有关于马术的书中至少出现过6次。[/cn] [en]'Eaten out of house and home' is thought to first appear in Henry IV part two, written in the 1590s, but examples from as early as 1578 have been found.[/en][cn]“食大如牛”被认为第一次出现在《亨利四世》第二部分,写于19世纪60年代,但是早于1578年就被发现有相关例子。[/cn] [en]'Without rhyme or reason' was thought to come from As You Like it but earlier versions can be traced back to the 1400s. [/en][cn]“无缘无故”被认为是出自莎士比亚的《皆大欢喜》,但是最早的版本可以追溯到14世纪。[/cn] [en]However, Shakespeare is thought to have made them more 'concise' and 'catchy'.He did still invent most of his famous quotations, including 'to make an ass of oneself'.'His audiences had to understand at least the gist of what he meant, so his words were mostly in circulation already or were logical combinations of pre-existing concepts,' writes Dr McInnis.[/en][cn]但是莎士比亚也被认为将这些词变得更加“简洁”和“郎朗上口”。他还发明了很多著名的语录,比如“让……看起来很蠢”。麦金尼斯博士写道:“莎士比亚的读者们必须要理解他到底在说什么,所以他使用的词语大部分一定早已流行开来,要么就是一些现存概念的逻辑组合”。[/cn] 相关阅读:莎士比亚发明的10个常用英文单词>>> 声明:本双语文章的中文翻译系沪江英语原创内容,转载请注明出处。中文翻译仅代表译者个人观点,仅供参考。如有不妥之处,欢迎指正。

【汉语、英语:傻傻分不清楚】牛津辞典中最新和最老的汉语词
提及:An alternative Chinese theory states that the word "ketchup" derives from a Chinese word composed of two characters (茄汁), which means "tomato sauce".但是这种说法存在争议。) 1650-1699: 12个,例:Shang(商)、ginseng(人参) 1600-1649: 4个,例:cha(茶)、t’ien(天) 1550-1599: 3个,例:China(中国)、litchi(荔枝) 从以上示例可见,我们被进入英语的汉语词大都是些外国人自己没有的古董、动植物、土特产,其中最先进入英语的是China,时间是1555年;最近一个进入英语的词是枸杞,时间是2002。如果把这245个词分类来看,其中当然是以名词为主,但牛津词典的编者还是认为有俩verbs ,也属经典国粹动作: 1. ganbei, int., n., and v. A Chinese drinking-toast, a call to drain one's glass. Also as intr. and trans., to drink (as) a toast. 2. pung, v. To take a discarded tile to complete a set of three identical tiles. Also trans.: to pick up (a discarded tile) to make a set of three. 您看明白了吗,第一个动词当然是“干杯”,1940年“进入”英语,现在对中国国情稍有了解的老外都牛津英语辞典》由牛津大学出版社发行,被视为是世界上最权威的英语会用。第二个动词pung把我难倒了,看解释琢磨半天,觉得是打麻将时的那个动作“碰”,而这个词早在1925年就进入了英语。
