<注釋>Although South Africa has not furnished a great number of words that have achieved general currency in British and American English,one in particular,apartheid, has gained wide circulation. The first recorded use ofapartheid as an English term, in the Cape Times on October 24, 947, is an ironic commentary on much of the word`s use since then: .Mr. Hofmeyr said apartheid could not be reconciled with a policy of progress and prosperity for South Africa.. According to the March 5, 9', issue of theLondon Times, the wordself-development was supposed to replace apartheid as the official term used by the South African Broadcasting Corporation for .the Government`s race policies. . And inMove Your Shadow, published in 985, Joseph Lelyveld says that the .word is [now] shunned, even resented by the [National Party`s] high priests as if it were an epithet fashioned by the country`s enemies.. Butapartheid as a word and as a reality has been slow to disappear. The history ofapartheid, however, offers a possible model for change in this policy, for the word is an example of a mixture and combination of resources, in this case linguistic.Apartheid is an English word that came into South African English from Afrikaans, the language of the Dutch settlers of South Africa. They in turn had made up the word from the Dutch wordapart, .separate,. and the suffix -heid, which corresponds to our suffix -hood. Thusapartheid literally means .separateness.. The Dutch had earlier borrowed the wordapart, as did we, from the French phrase à part, meaning .to one side..
盡管南非并沒有向英國和美國英語里加入很多得以普遍使用的詞匯，但尚有一例外，apartheid 這個詞就得到了普遍應(yīng)用。 apartheid 一詞作為英語詞匯的使用最早記錄于947年0月24日的 開普時報 上，從那時起對該詞的使用就作了反諷式的評論： .霍夫梅伊先生說種族隔離制不能與南非進步及繁榮的政策相容。.根據(jù)9'年3月5日的一期倫敦時報 ， 南非廣播公司試圖以self-development 作為官方用語來代替 apartheid 表示.政府的種族政策.。 在985年出版的移動你的影子 中，約瑟夫·萊莉瓦德說.這個詞為高級牧師們所回避甚至痛恨， 似乎它是這個國家的敵人創(chuàng)造出來的修飾語。.但apartheid 作為詞匯和作為現(xiàn)實存在消失得很慢。 然而apartheid 的歷史為這種政策的變化提供了一個可能的模式， 因為這個詞是語言學(xué)方面各種來源混合及聯(lián)合的一個例子。Apartheid 是從南非的荷蘭殖民者的語言進入南非英語的一個英語詞匯。 依次由荷蘭詞apart .分隔.，和后綴 -heid （其與后綴 -hood 相對應(yīng)）構(gòu)成。 這樣，apartheid 可逐字譯為.分隔，隔離。. 荷蘭人較早地借用了apart 一詞，就如我們從法語里借用了意為.到一邊.的 a part 一樣
