| 背面 |     释义： 1. job 还有一层含义“刺，戳，捅”，这时它与 jab 同源同义，jab 就是 job 的变体形式。2. 可以说 job / jab / jag 它们都是同源词，它们都是对“刺，戳，撕”等动作所产生的声音的拟声，所以说它们都是拟声词。3. jag 除了有“刺，戳，撕”的含义外，还有表示“刺，戳，撕”的结果、状态。4. jagged 就表示这种结果、状态的形容词形式。5. 就如 jabber 和 gibber 这对拟声词它们是同源拟声，gibber influenced by jabber. 双写字母b就是对这种吱吱喳喳、喋喋不休的声音的形象模拟和描述，可以说其中蕴含做讽刺和贬义。6. 就像 giggle 这个拟声词双写字母g加-le，就表示这种动作的重复性，没完没了、不停的重复下去，即：咯咯地笑，咯咯笑个不止。adj. 残忍的；无理性的n. 畜生；残暴的人 例句： 1. The burly brute swaggered forward, towering over me, and shouted.五大三粗的恶汉趾高气扬地走过来，居高临下地对我咆哮着。 brute 野蛮的来自词根bar, 重，见barometer, 气压计，gravity, 重力。此处词义由重到呆滞，愚蠢，野兽，最后指野兽般的，野蛮的。 brutebrute: [15] The primordial meaning of brute appears to be ‘heavy’. It comes from Latin brūtus ‘heavy’, and it has been speculated that it is related to Latin grāvis ‘heavy’ (from which English gets grave, gravity, and grieve). In Latin the sense ‘heavy’ had already progressed to ‘stupid’, and it later developed to ‘of the lower animals’. It was with this meaning that the word reached English via French. Connotations of ‘cruelty’ do not begin to appear until the 17th century. Brut meaning ‘very dry’ in relation to champagne is a late 19th-century borrowing of the French adjectival form brut, literally ‘rough’.brute (adj.)early 15c., "of or belonging to animals," from Middle French brut "coarse, brutal, raw, crude," from Latin brutus "heavy, dull, stupid," an Oscan word, from PIE root *gwere- (2) "heavy" (see grave (adj.)). Before reaching English the meaning expanded to "of the lower animals." Used of human beings from 1530s.brute (n.)1610s, from brute (adj.)." |
