1. Did you perpetrate this terrible poem?你作了这首滥诗 吗 ?

1. per- "completely" + patrare "carry out, perform, accomplish," originally "bring into existence," originally meant literally 'perform or accomplish in the capacity or quality of a father'.2. Neither good nor bad in Latin, first used in English in statutes, hence its sense of "perform criminally".3. per- + petr- (patr-的变体、音变) + -ate.4. 该词本无好坏之分,但由于首次进入英语时,被用于法规、法令之中,所以含义由此演变为做坏事。
perpetrate 犯罪,做恶来自拉丁语perpetrare,履行,执行,完成,来自per-,整个的,patrare,执行,实施,来自pater,父亲,词源同father.其字面意思可能是生下小孩,成为父亲。其原义并无感情色情,后用于比喻用法始作俑者,犯罪,做恶。
