<注釋>The pilot of an aircraft flying through the air has a foot on the ground not literallybut etymologically.If we poke around in the etymological soil for the roots of the wordpilot, we find that it goes back to the Indo-European rootped-, meaning .foot.. From the lengthened-grade suffixed formpôdo- came the Greek word pôdon, .blade of an oar,. and in the plural, .rudder.. In Medieval Greekthere is assumed to have existed the derivativepôdôtôs, .steersman,. which passed into Old Italian and acquired several forms,includingpedota, and pilota, the form that was borrowed into Old French aspilot. English borrowed the word from French,and aspilot it has moved from the water to the air, first being recorded in 848 with reference to an airborne pilot—a balloonist.
飛行員一腳踩地飛進(jìn)天空這句話字面上雖講不通，但在詞源上卻可以。如果為找到pilot 的根源而溯其詞源， 我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它源自印歐語(yǔ)系詞根ped- 意為.腳.。 從加長(zhǎng)的這個(gè)詞根的后綴形式pedo- 我們得到希臘詞語(yǔ) pedon .槳葉.及復(fù)數(shù)形式，.舵.。 在中世紀(jì)的希臘，據(jù)稱曾存在派生詞pedotes .舵手.， 該詞進(jìn)了古意大利語(yǔ)并添了一些形式，包括pedota 和 pilota ， 這些形式被法語(yǔ)借用過(guò)來(lái)，便成了pilot 。 英語(yǔ)又借自法語(yǔ)，隨著pilot 從水上被移用到天上， 于848年第一次用來(lái)指天上飛行員——熱氣球駕駛員
