【引伸】
check.able
adj.（形容詞）
<注釋>The wordscheck , chess , and shah are all related. Shah, as one might think, is a borrowing into English of the Persian title for the monarch of that country.The Persian wordsh3h was also a term used in chess, a game played in Persia long before it was introduced to Europe.One saidsh3h as a warning when the opponent`s king was under attack. The Persian word in this sense,after passing through Arabic,probably Old Spanish, and then Old French,came into Middle English aschek about seven hundred years ago. Chess itself comes from a plural form of the Old French word that gave us the word check. Checkmate, the next stage after check, goes back to the Arabic phrasesh3h m3t, meaning .the king is stymied..Through a complex development having to do with senses that evolved from the notion of checking the king,check came to mean something used to ensure accuracy or authenticity. One such means was a counterfoil, a part of a check, for example,retained by the issuer as documentation of a transaction.Check first meant .counterfoil. and then came to mean anything,such as a bill or bank draft, with a counterfoil—or eventually even without one.
單詞check ， chess 和 shah 是互相關(guān)聯(lián)的。 Shah 就象有人可能想象的那樣， 是英語里的外來詞，原指波斯國王的稱號。波斯詞語shah 也是國際象棋中的術(shù)語， 國際象棋在被引進(jìn)歐洲之前早就在波斯流傳。當(dāng)對手的.國王.受到攻擊時(shí)我們說shah 作為一種警告。 這個(gè)意義的波斯單詞，通過阿拉伯語，可能還有古西班牙語和后來的古法語，大約在七百年前被收入中世紀(jì)英語中chek 。 Chess 本身來自于古法語 check 的復(fù)數(shù)形式。 Checkmate ，是 check 的下一步， 來自于阿拉伯短語shah mat， 意思是.國王進(jìn)退兩難.。從對.國王.將軍這個(gè)概念演化而來，check 的含義經(jīng)歷了復(fù)雜的發(fā)展過程，它后來指用以確保準(zhǔn)確性或真實(shí)性的某種東西。 例如，其中一個(gè)含義是指作為支票的一部分的存根，由簽發(fā)支票的人保留作為交易的單據(jù)。Check 最初是指.存根.， 后來指任何有存根的東西，如帳單或銀行匯票等，最后甚至指沒有存根的東西
