<注釋>The ultimate etymology of the wordchagrin, which comes directly to us from French, is considered uncertain by many etymologists. At one timechagrin was thought to be the same word as shagreen, .a leather or skin with a rough surface,. derived from French chagrin. The reasoning wasthat in French the word for this rough material, which was used to smooth and polish things,was extended to the notion of troubles that fret and annoy a person.It was later decided, however,that the sense .rough leather. and the sense .sorrow. each belonged to a different French wordchagrin. Other etymologists have offered an alternative explanation,suggesting that the French wordchagrin, .sorrow,. is a loan translation of the German word Katzenjammer, .a morning-after-the-night-before feeling.. A loan translation is a type of borrowing from another languagein which the elements of a foreign word,as inKatzen, .cats,. and Jammer, .distress, seediness,. are assumed to be translated literally by corresponding elements in another language,in this case,chat, .cat,. and grigner, .to grimace.. The actual etymology is less colorful,with the word probably going back to a Germanic word,.gramo, meaning .sorrow, trouble..Chagrin is first recorded in English in '5' in the now obsolete sense .anxiety, melancholy..
我們從法語直接借用的詞chagrin 的最終詞源被許多詞源學家認為是不能確定的。 Charin 曾經(jīng)被認為和由法語詞 chagrin 派生出來的 shagreen .有粗糙表面的皮革或皮膚.是同一個詞。 理由是，這種粗糙材料是用來打磨和拋光物品用的，法語里的這個詞被引申到有了使人懊惱和煩惱的意思。但后來才確定，.粗糙的皮革.的含義和.沮喪.的含義分屬于一個不同的法語詞chagrin 。 別的詞源學家提出了另外一種解釋，說法語詞chagrin .沮喪.是借譯于日耳曼語詞 Katzenjammer .醉后的難受感.。 借譯是借用另一種語言，即外語詞的成分，如Katzen .貓.，和 Jammer .沮喪，不舒服.， 并照那種語言的對應成分直譯過來，在這種情況下為chat .貓.和 grigner .做怪相.。 實際的語源沒有這么富于趣味，這個詞極可能要追溯到日耳曼語詞grami ， 意思為.愁苦，麻煩.。Chagrin 第一次出現(xiàn)在英語里有記載的時間是在'5'年， 當時的含義.焦慮，憂郁.現(xiàn)已過時不用
