<注釋>Henry Bradley, one of the four editors of theOxford English Dictionary, said .It is a truth often overlooked, but not unimportant, that every addition to the resources of a language must in the first instance have been due to an act (though not necessarily to a voluntary or conscious act) of some one person..In many casesthis one person may have been an author,since the first recorded instance of a word is often found in an author`s work.Of course, as Bradley warns,this is the firstrecorded instance; it is possible that a given author picked up the word or sense somewhere elseor that these reside undiscovered in an earlier work.In any caseit might be a minor relief of our condition the next time we feel lonely to know that the first recorded instance of the wordlonely occurs in the works of Shakespeare. The passage appears inCoriolanus ('07-'08) in a speech by Coriolanus to his mother Volumnia:.My mother, you wot [know] well/My hazards still have been your solace, and/Believe`t not lightly—though I go alone,/Like to alonely dragon, that his fen/Makes fear`d and talk`d of more than seen—your son/Will or exceed the common or be caught/With cautelous [crafty] baits and practice.. Lonely here, of course, has the sense .solitary.. The dragon does not feel dejected,or if he does,he does not seem to know how to reach out to others effectively.
牛津英語(yǔ)詞典 的四位編纂者之一亨利·布萊德雷說(shuō)： .人們經(jīng)常忽視這樣一個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)，但它并非不重要，那就是對(duì)某種語(yǔ)言詞匯的每一次添加都首先是由于某一個(gè)人的行為（盡管不一定是自愿的或有意識(shí)的行為）.。許多時(shí)候，這一個(gè)人可能是個(gè)作者，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)詞有記載的首次使用往往出自一位作者的作品。當(dāng)然，正如布萊德雷所提醒人們的，這是首次有記載的 的例子； 某個(gè)作者可能是從別處學(xué)到這個(gè)詞或這個(gè)意思，或是這個(gè)詞或意思在更早的作品中已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)，只是未被人們發(fā)現(xiàn)。不管怎樣，當(dāng)我們知道lonely 這個(gè)詞的有記載的首次使用出現(xiàn)在莎士比亞的作品中時(shí)，這些都不大能減輕我們的沮喪心情。 在卡里奧拉納斯 （'07-'08年）中， 卡里奧拉納斯對(duì)他母親弗羅姆尼婭講的一段話中有這樣的文字：.我的母親，你清楚地知道／我的冒險(xiǎn)一直是你的安慰，而且／不要輕信——盡管我要只身前往，／就象去面對(duì)一條孤單的 龍，他的沼澤／令人談而色變，盡管并未親見(jiàn)——你的兒子／決意或是勝過(guò)凡人或是被狡猾的圈套和手段擒捉.。 Lonely 在這里的意思當(dāng)然是.孤單的.。 龍不會(huì)感到沮喪，即便它感到沮喪，他也不太可能知道如何讓別人體會(huì)到它的感情
