遇见不认识的单词,我们首先会想到查字典。但是如果你不知道“dord”的意思,不要在字典里找答案,除非你拥有1934年的第二版《韦氏新国际词典》。
实际上,“dord”仅在这版的韦氏词典里出现过,这类词汇在英语中还有一个特殊的名字——“ghost words”,直译成中文就是“鬼词”。听起来阴森森的,但其实“鬼词”和妖魔鬼怪毫无关系。
Coined by philologist Walter William Skeat in 1886, ghost words are often the result of misreadings and typographical errors.
1886年,语言学家沃尔特·威廉·斯盖特创造了“鬼词”这种说法,通常指被看错或印刷错误的单词。
The Oxford Dictionarydefines ghost word as “a word recorded in a dictionary or other reference work which is not actually used.”Merriam-Webstersays a ghost word is “a word form never in established usage.”
《牛津词典》将“鬼词”定义为“记录在词典或其他参考文献中但未实际使用过的词”。韦氏词典称,“鬼词”指“从未使用过的单词形式”。
有时,一些字典会故意录入鬼词作为“防伪标志”,这样的词汇还有一个名称:nihilartikel。
Nihilartikels are deliberately phony words included to ward off would-be plagiarists.
Nihilartikel是指为了防止有人剽窃而故意编造的假词。
下面来看看曾出现在《牛津词典》和《韦氏词典》里的5个“鬼词”:
1. DORD
Dord is perhaps the most famous of the ghost words. First appearing in the 1934 second edition of Webster’s New International Dictionary, dord was said to mean “density.”
Dord是最有名的“鬼词”。之一次出现在1934年的第二版《韦氏新国际词典》中,指“密度”的意思。
The phantom phrase hung out until 1939, when an editor finally noticed its lack of etymology. He checked the files and found the original slip: "D or d, cont/ density,” which was actually referring to abbreviations using the letter D. At the time, words to be entered in the dictionary were typed with spaces between letters so “d or d” might have been interpreted as “d o r d.”
这个虚幻的单词一直流传到1939年,当时一位编辑终于注意到它缺乏词源。这位编辑检查了文档,发现原稿是:“D or(或) d,cont/density”,实际上是指使用字母D的缩写。当时,字典里的单词在字母之间有空格,所以“d or d”可能被理解为“dord”
Despite having proved its non-existence, it would take until 1947 before Webster’s pages were dord-free.
尽管这个词是不存在的,但直到1947年,《韦氏词典》才将其删除。
2. ABACOT
Abacot made its debut in the second edition of Holinshed’s Chronicles, edited by Abraham Fleming and published in 1587. It then found its way into Spelman’s Glossarium (1664), and every major dictionary since. Almost 300 years later, James Murray, the primary editor of theOxford English Dictionary(OED), discovered that the wordy wraith was actually a misprint of bycoket, a cap or head-dress.
Abacot首次出现在由亚伯拉罕·弗莱明编写并于1587年出版的《霍林什德编年史》第二版中。随后,这个词在1664年被收录进斯佩尔曼的词汇库,并出现在此后的每一部主要词典中。近300年后,《牛津英语词典》主编詹姆斯·默里发现,这个“鬼词”实际上是bycoket的印刷错误。Bycoket表示帽子或头饰。
By then, abacot had taken on a life of its own, referring to not just any cap but a “Cap of State, made like a double crown, worn anciently by the Kings of England.”
此时,abacot已经有了更多含义,不仅指帽子,还指“古代英格兰国王佩戴的国王帽,形似双层王冠。”
3. PHANTOMNATION
A ghostly word in more than one way, phantomnation was defined by Webster’s 1864 American Dictionary of the English Languageas an “appearance as of a phantom; illusion,” and was attributed to Alexander Pope’s translation of The Odyssey:
Phantomnation是一个名副其实的“鬼词”。1864年出版的《韦氏美语词典》将“phantomnation”定义为“鬼魂;幻觉”,并将其归因于亚历山大·波普对《奥德赛》的翻译:
“These solemn vows and holy offerings paid
“这些庄严的誓言和神圣的祭品已经兑现
To all the phantomnations of the dead.”致所有死者的鬼魂。”
The real word? The no less creepy phantom-nation, a society of specters. We can blame scholar Richard Paul Jodrell for this gaffe, who, in his book The Philology of the English Language, left out hyphens in compound words.
这里正确的原文是phantom-nation(幽灵国家),一个同样令人毛骨悚然的幽灵社会。这个错误是学者理查德·保罗·约德雷尔制造的,他在《英语语言学》一书中将这个复合词的连字符省略了。
4. CAIRBOW
The curious cairbow was mentioned in an early 20th-century proof of the OED in an example sentence of “glare”: “It
20世纪初出版的《牛津英语词典》中,“glare”的例句中提到了“好奇的cairbow”:
“它(cairbow)突然蹲坐下来,沿着刺眼的冰面滑行。”
Cairbow? No one had heard of such thing. Was it some kind of polar creature with an affinity for ice? Did it have a big rainbow on its back?Cairbow?没人听说过这个词。它是某种喜欢冰的极地生物吗?它的背上有一道大彩虹吗?
Nope. Cairbow was merely a misreading of caribou.
不,cairbow只是拼写错误的caribou(驯鹿)。
5. ESQUIVALIENCE
The one faker by design, this spurious term, meaning “the willful avoidance of one’s official responsibilities,” materialized in the second edition of the New Oxford American Dictionary(NOAD).
这是一个故意编造的假词,意思是“故意逃避自己的职责”,出现在《新牛津美语词典》第二版中。
The word was invented by Christine Lindberg, one of the NOAD editors. The whole thing was part of the dictionary’s strategy for copyright protection.
这个词是由《新牛津美语词典》的编辑克里斯汀·林德伯格发明的。此举是该词典的一种版权保护策略。

“lift cap”真的表示“举起帽子”的意思吗?(? ̄△ ̄)?
每天晚上一篇英语知识普及
英语罐头
本文是我的第357篇英语知识文章
最近罐头菌身边热议的事情可多了,今天开始的高考,身处广州的疫情状况等等....不过今天罐头菌还是想讲一下“三孩政策”,毕竟罐头菌身边的朋友同事大部分都是准结婚人士或者准爸爸妈妈(年事已到,现在罐头菌有时候竟然都被叫“叔叔”了)
首先之一个,我们可以很简单地翻译为
Three-child policy 三孩政策
China's new three-child policy is a step in the right direction
新发布的三孩政策是正确方向上的一步。
其实关于独生子女政策,二孩政策,三孩政策,都可以如此类推:
One-child policy 独生子女政策
Two-childe policy 二孩政策
Three-child policy 三孩政策
以上的政策,一般统称为“计划生育政策”(注意了,这个词汇在考试中经常会使用)
Family planning policy 计划生育政策
The family planning policy begun in the late 1970s.
计划生育政策开始于20世纪70年代末。
在关注计划生育政策的新闻中,罐头菌顺便延伸出一个常用却又难以理解的词汇“cap”。Cap一般文章中我们都会用于名词表示“帽子”,但这个解释却“不唯一”。例如说国外新闻介绍“三孩政策”的标题:
China lifts cap on births in major policy shift.
中国在重要政策上的转变,提高生育上限
这里我们可以看到cap在这里还是做“名词”,而lift则是动词“提高”,提高什么呢?Cap在这里表示“上限,限制,天花板”的意思。
其实很容易理解,cap作为帽子,自然代表着“更高点”,而假如把帽子提高,那自然“上限就提高”了。
The federal government wants to lift caps on international arrivals.
联邦 *** 打算提高国际旅客的上限。
同理的,cap除了能作为名词用完外,还能作为动词用,意为“限制”。
The government reported an alarming decline in its labor force that economists warned could cap economic growth.
根据 *** 报道说,由于劳动力的迅速下降,很有可能限制经济发展。
今日知识点
Family planning policy 计划生育政策
One-child policy 独生子女政策
Two-childe policy 二孩政策
Three-child policy 三孩政策
Cap 限制

3.tall/high 辨析
⑴tall与high表示“高”
当表示人的身体和细长物体的高度时,用tall而不用high。tall的反义词是short。

a bit, a little的区别:
①a(little)bit常放在形容词前。
I’m a (little)bit hungry. 我有点饿了。
②修饰不可数名词时,就用a bit of
I just have a bit of money.
我只有一点钱。
a little 既可修饰形容词,也可修饰不可数名词。
she’s a little worried. 她有些担心。
I have a little water. 我喝了一点水。

他留着棕色的头发,戴眼镜。

我们的中文向来会有用颜色来表达自己的观点,如近朱者赤近墨者黑。你知道吗,其实外国人也会用颜色来表达自己的情感观点的。
就好像刚刚去国外出差的Jerry曾经听到外国人对他说“White elephant”,那你知道是什么意思吗?接着我们再学习关于白色white的英语知识吧!
White elephant
它的表面意思是“小白象(或者是大白象)”,不过外国人一般会将它的延伸义一下。但是这个延伸是与印度文化有关联的,由于印度人对于大象是很崇拜的,视“白象”为神灵。
在印度有的人认为神灵是尊贵的,是不可让它干活、宰杀、虐待,要用更好的食物饲养它。
也有的人认为大象不干活是一个累赘,所以后来他们就把White elephant 延伸指“华而不实的东西。价值不菲,却难以维护和处置的东西。”
This radio is really a white elephant to me.
White hat
这个词组都都用常见的词汇组成的,所以不少有基础的同学一看到white hat就会很容易的理解为白色的帽子。
但white hat在国外其实是一个古老的俚语,常常用于口语中表示好人的意思。
为什么呢?原来在美国西部片中,好人带白帽子,坏人带黑帽子,所以就会用white hat代指好人,相当于Good people 或者nice guy.
He is outwardly fierce, but actually he is a thoroughly white hat.
White crow
如果我们把white crow 直译就是“白色的乌鸦”!在我们的印象中乌鸦大多数都是是黑色的。很少能看到白色的乌鸦,那白色的乌鸦是不是非常罕见呢?
So,white crow 的后来就被引申为“罕见之物,非常珍贵的东西。”
What a white crow it is.
White lie
White lie可以直译为“白色的谎言、谎言”,同样也可以表示为了不使人难堪而说的谎话;圆场的话,相当于我们常常说的“善意的谎言”。
那当你们听到White lie的时候就要小心分辨,对方说你是“谎言”还是说“善意的谎言”。
We all lie, whether it is a white lie, or omitting the truth.

Captain America 和Captain Cook
美国人特别喜欢一个单词captain
这可能是与航海家库克船长( Captain Cook)
首次登上夏威夷群岛有关。
有了这个典故,
现在的执掌苹果的Tim Cook
也经常被美国网友称为“库克船长”。
但对我们来说
更熟悉的是Marvel 在1941年推出的漫画
Captain America 《美国队长》
这几年的好莱坞大 *** 电影
更是让美队声名远播。
看了上面两幅图,
可以知道captain的含义了吧?
captain = cap + tain
cap本身就是“帽子”的意思,
在词根中它的含义类似于“seize”,或者“hold”,
也就是“拿住”;
tain= get;
所以captain就是能够掌握权力的人
叫“首领”,“队长”,“船长”等。
