Middle English diven
中古英語 diven
from Old English dtfan [to dip]
源自 古英語 dtfan [浸，蘸，沉]
and from dôfan [to sink] * see dheub-
并源自 dôfan [下沉，沉入] *參見 dheub-

Eitherdove or dived is acceptable as the past tense of dive. Dived is actually the earlier form,and the emergence ofdove may appear anomalous in light of the general tendencies of change in English verb forms. Old English had two classes of verbs:strong verbs, whose past tense was indicated by a change in their vowel (a process that survives in such present-day English verbsasdrive/drove or fling/flung ); and weak verbs,whose past was formed with a suffix related to-ed in Modern English (as in present-day Englishlive/lived and move/moved ). Since the Old English period,many verbs have changed from the strong pattern to the weak one;for example, the past tense ofhelp, formerly healp, became helped, and the past tense ofstep, formerly stop, became stepped. Over the years, in fact, the weak pattern has become so prevalentthat we use the termregular to refer to verbs that form their past tense by suffixation of -ed. However, there have occasionally been changes in the other direction:the past tense ofwear, now wore, was once werede ; that ofspit, now spat, was once spitede ; and the development ofdove is an additional example of the small group of verbs that have swum against the historical tide.
dove 或 dived 都可用作 dive的過去式形式。 Dived 實際上是早期詞形，根據(jù)英語動詞詞形變化的趨勢，dove 的出現(xiàn)似乎是不規(guī)則的。 古英語有兩類動詞：強式動詞，其過去時形式由元音變化來體現(xiàn)（這一過程還存在于現(xiàn)代英語里，諸如drive/drove 或 fling/flung 等動詞中）； 另一類為弱式動詞，其過去時態(tài)形式由與現(xiàn)代英語-ed 后綴有關(guān) （如現(xiàn)代英語中的live/lived 和 move/moved )。 自古英語時期以來，許多動詞由強式變?yōu)槿跏?；例?strong>help 的過去式形式以前為 healp ，已變?yōu)?helped ， step 的過去式由以前的 stop 變?yōu)?stepped 。 事實上，多年來弱式動詞變得非常普遍，我們用術(shù)語規(guī)則動詞 來指那些由加后綴 -ed 來構(gòu)成過去式形式的動詞， 然而偶爾也會向另一方向發(fā)生變化：wear 的過去形式現(xiàn)為 wore ，曾為 weared ； spit 的過去式現(xiàn)為 spat ，曾為 spitede ； dove 的發(fā)展是反歷史潮流而動的一小組動詞中的另外一小組動詞的例子
