adj.（形容詞）
<注釋>The wordsbell and belfry seem obviously related, but in fact thebel- portion of belfry had nothing to do with bells until comparatively recently. Belfry goes back to a compound formed in prehistoric Common Germanic. It is generally agreed that the second part of this compound is the element.frij-, meaning .peace, safety.. The first element is either.bergan, .to protect,. which would yield a compound meaning .a defensive place of shelter,. or.berg-, .a high place,. which would yield a compound meaning .a high place of safety, tower..Whatever the meaning of the original Germanic source, its Old French descendantberfrei, which first meant .siege tower,. came to mean .watchtower.. Presumably because bells were used in these towers, the word was applied to bell towers as well.The Old North French alterationbelfroi, which reminded English speakers of their native word belle (our bell ), entered Middle English with the sense .bell tower,. first recorded in 272.
bell 和 belfry 這兩個(gè)詞似乎顯著相關(guān)， 但事實(shí)上直到最近，belfry 詞里的 bel 部分才同.鐘.這個(gè)詞聯(lián)系起來(lái)。 Belfry 源于史前普通日耳曼語(yǔ)的復(fù)合詞。 一般認(rèn)為這個(gè)復(fù)合詞的第二部分是frij-， 意思是.和平、安全.。 它的第一部分或是.bergan.， 意為.保護(hù).， 該復(fù)合詞就當(dāng).隱蔽防御之地.講；或是berg 意為.高處.， 該詞就是.安全高處；塔.的意思。無(wú)論其日耳曼語(yǔ)來(lái)源意思是什么，它衍生成古法語(yǔ)的berfrei， 原意為.圍塔.，后意為.望塔.。據(jù)推測(cè)由于鐘被用于這些塔里，所以這個(gè)詞也開始指鐘塔了。belfroi 作為古北法語(yǔ)的變體它使英語(yǔ)使用者想到了自己的母語(yǔ)中 belle 一字（我們寫做 bell ）， 進(jìn)入中古英語(yǔ)后意為.鐘樓.，首次記載于272年
