<注釋>It has often been remarked that the Celtic inhabitants of Great Britain contributed very little to the stock of English words.Perhaps this should not be too surprising, given the difficult relations over the centuries between the people of Germanic stock and the people of Celtic stock in England and Ireland.It seems likely that a certain English contempt resides in the adoption of the wordhubbub from a Celtic source, which is probably related toub ub ubub, a Scots Gaelic interjection expressing contempt,or toabu, an ancient Irish war cry. In any case,hubbub was first recorded (555) in the phrase Irish hubbub and meant .the confused shouting of a crowd..In addition to the senses it has developed,hubbub was again used, possibly in a nonflattering way, by the New England colonists as a term for a rambunctious game played by Native Americans. 人們常說,居住在大不列顛的蓋爾人對英語詞匯沒有多大貢獻。如果考慮到幾個世紀(jì)以來居住在英格蘭與愛爾蘭的日爾曼人與蓋爾人之間的關(guān)系,那么這個情況就不足為奇了。英格蘭人采用來自蓋爾語的hubbub 這個詞時,很可能是帶有輕蔑之意的, 此詞與ub ub ubub 有關(guān), 是蘇格蘭蓋爾語中用來表示輕蔑之意的感嘆詞;或者與古代愛爾蘭語中的吶喊abus 有關(guān)。 無論怎樣,hubbub 一詞最早見于詞組 Irish hubbub (555年)中, 意為.人群發(fā)出的混亂吵鬧聲.。除了它本身就有的意思外,hubbub 一詞又被新英格蘭的殖民者用來指印第安人的一種野蠻的游戲,但這一用法可能不討人喜歡 注釋>
