<注釋>Caesar`s division of Gaul into three parts used to be known by every child who learned Latin,but perhaps even classically trained schoolchildren did not always realize that in spite of the conquest of Gaul by the Romans, some Gaulish elements lived on, such as our wordfrown. This word is descended from Gaulish, a Celtic language that is related to Welsh and Irish. Frown, first recorded in Middle English in a work composed around 395,came from Old Frenchfroigner, which meant .to turn up one`s nose.. The Old French word was derived fromfrogne, .grimace,. which in turn came from the hypothetical Gaulish word.frogna, .nose,. which is related to Welshffroen, .nose,. and Old Irish srôn, .nose..
每一個(gè)學(xué)拉丁文的孩子都知道凱撒三分高盧，但如果不是羅馬人征服高盧，高盧語中許多東西至今依然存在，例如frown ，恐怕即使在學(xué)校里按傳統(tǒng)方式教育的孩子都不可能知道這一點(diǎn)了。 此詞來自高盧語，一種與威爾士語和愛爾蘭語有關(guān)的凱爾特語。 Frown， 首先見于中世紀(jì)一本約359年的英語書，來自古法語froigner， 意為.皺起某人的鼻子.。 古法語詞則源自frogne， .鬼臉，. 源自臆測的高盧詞·frogna， 意為.鼻子.， 與威爾士語ffroen， .鼻子.和與古愛爾蘭語 sron 意為.鼻子.有關(guān)
