n.（名詞）
<注釋>A charlatan and chatter are inseparable,even perhaps in the etymology ofcharlatan. According to one explanation,charlatan goes back through French to Italian ciarlatano, .mountebank, fraud,. from the wordciarlare, .to chatter.. Another explanation would derivecharlatan from the Italian word cerretano, .an inhabitant of Cerreto, a quack,. the village of Cerreto being noted for its charlatans.It seems, however, that bothciarlare and cerretano have been involved in the formation of the Italian word. The first example of the English word and of its earliest recorded sense,.huckster, especially of medicines, who gives his pitch to a crowd; mountebank,. is found in '8.The sense familiar to us,.a person pretending to skill or knowledge,.is first recorded in 809.
.冒充內(nèi)行者.與.喋喋不休.是分不開的，甚至也許在charlatan 的詞源上。 根據(jù)一種解釋，charlatan 可以由法語追溯到意大利語的 ciarlatano， .江湖郎中，騙子.， 其來自ciarlare .喋喋不休.。 另一種解釋是從意大利詞cerretano 派生出 charlatan， .塞利托的居民，庸醫(yī)，. 以其庸醫(yī)聞名的塞利托村。但似乎ciarlare 與 cerretano 兩個(gè)詞都與這個(gè)意大利詞的形成有關(guān)。 這個(gè)英語詞第一個(gè)例子以及它最早記載的意義，.大吹大擂推銷商品的人，尤指向人群推銷藥品的人；江湖醫(yī)生，.見于'8年。對(duì)于我們熟悉的含義，.冒充在技能和知識(shí)上內(nèi)行的人，.最早記載于809年
