| 背面 |      释义： 1. strive, strife 是同源词(v f)，因此它们的含义很相近；其实，stride 与 strive, strife 也是同源词，只是 stride 的引申义引申得比较远，因此仅从含义上看不出它们的同源性。2. 古高地德语：*strit- "fight, combat, contention; quarrel, dispute" => 古法语：*strit- / *strif- "quarrel, dispute" => strife => strive.3. 古高地德语：*strit- "fight, combat, contention" => *strid- => stride (其字面含义，其实就是两条腿之间的对峙、竞争，两条腿怎样才能形成对峙呢，当然就是叉开腿，形成跨步、跨立姿势)，由此引申出了如今的含义，straddle 就是 stride 的同源同引申义的词.4. *strid- => *strad- + -le (双写d加-le, 反复体后缀)。5. st- (stand => st-) + ride => stride, 当然就是站着往前大步走了。6. stride => straddle.7. 在大街上骑着马大跨步行走。adj. 微型的，小规模的n. 缩图；微型画；微型图画绘画术vt. 是…的缩影 例句： 1.

It in fact comes ultimately from Latin minium ‘red lead’. Red lead was used in ancient and medieval times for making a sort of red ink with which manuscripts were decorated, and so the derived medieval Latin verb miniāre was coined for ‘illuminate a manuscript’.Italian took this over as miniare, and derived miniatura ‘painting, illustrating’ from it. It referred particularly to the small paintings in manuscripts, and when English borrowed it as miniature it was soon broadened out to any ‘small image’. Association with minute, etc led by the early 18th century to its adjectival use for ‘small’.miniature (n.)1580s, "a reduced image," from Italian miniatura "manuscript illumination or small picture," from past participle of miniare "to illuminate a manuscript," from Latin miniare "to paint red," from minium "red lead," used in ancient times to make red ink, a word said to be of Iberian origin. Sense development is because pictures in medieval manuscripts were small, but no doubt there was influence as well from the similar-sounding Latin words that express smallness: minor, minimus, minutus, etc.miniature (adj.)"small," 1714, from minature (n.). Of dog breeds, from 1889. Of golf, from 1893." |
