Question

anecdote n.轶事；奇闻 (1) 他以一个幽默的轶事开始他的演说(2) 他告诉我几个关于英语老师的掌故。(3) 那不过是个家庭趣谈罢了。 The roots of anecdote lie in the Greek word anekdota, meaning "unpublished." The word's original sense in English was "secret or private stories" — tales not fit for print, so to speak. It can still have connotations of unreliability, as in the phrase "anecdotal information." But the most common sense today is that of "a funny story about something that happened."
