There is another avenue to pursue — it involves further negotiations.还有一个办法可用,但需要进一步的磋商。 pursue 追求,追逐,探索来自古法语poursuir,来自porsivre拼写变体,来自俗拉丁语*prosequare,来自prosequi,追求,追随,跟随,追逐,来自pur-,向前,-seq,跟随,词源同sequence,prosecute,execute. pursuepursue: [13] Pursue is first cousin to prosecute. Both go back ultimately to Latin prōsequī ‘follow up, pursue’. This led fairly directly to English prosecute, but it also seems to have had a Vulgar Latin descendant *prōsequere, which passed into English via Old French porsivre and Anglo-Norman pursuer as pursue.=> prosecute, sue, suitpursue (v.)late 13c., "to follow with hostile intent," from Anglo-French pursuer and directly from Old French poursuir (Modern French poursuivre), variant of porsivre "to chase, pursue, follow; continue, carry on," from Vulgar Latin *prosequare, from Latin prosequi "follow, accompany, attend; follow after, escort; follow up, pursue," from pro- "forward" (see pro-) + sequi "follow" (see sequel). Meaning "to proceed, to follow" (a path, etc.), usually figurative (a course of action, etc.), is from late 14c. This sense also was in Latin. Related: Pursued; pursuing. For sense, compare prosecute." |
