n.(名詞)<注釋>The history of the wordsfey and fay illustrates a rather fey coincidence. Our wordfay, .fairy, elf,. the descendant of Middle Englishfaie, .a person or place possessed of magical properties,. and first recorded around 390,goes back to Old Frenchfae, .fairy,. the same word that has given usfairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar LatinF3ta, .the goddess of fate,. from Latin f3tum, .fate.. Iffay goes back to fate, so doesfey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestorfôge meant .fated to die.. The sense we are more familiar with, .magical or fairylike in quality,.seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound betweenfay and fey. fey 和 fay 兩詞的歷史展示了一個十分奇特的巧合。 我們現(xiàn)在所使用的詞fay, .神仙,小精靈,. 是中古英語faie, .具有魔力的人或地方.的派生詞, 它首次記載于約390年左右,回溯到古法語fae .神仙., 這一詞產(chǎn)生了我們現(xiàn)在的fairy。 Fae 依次產(chǎn)生于俗拉丁語Fata, .命運女神,.和拉丁語 fatum, .命運。. 如果fay 回到命運的意思, 可以說fey 也是如此, 因為其古英語原形fôge 的意思即為.注定死亡。. 我們現(xiàn)在更熟悉的意思.性質(zhì)上具有魔力的或似神仙的.,似乎部分是由于fay 和 fey 在讀音上的相似而產(chǎn)生的 注釋>
