來(lái)源：
Middle English proces
中古英語(yǔ) proces
from Old French [development]
源自 古法語(yǔ) [發(fā)展]
from Latin prôcessus [from past participle of] prôcôdere [to advance] * see proceed
源自 拉丁語(yǔ) prôcessus [] 源自prôcôdere的過(guò)去分詞 [前進(jìn)] *參見(jiàn) proceed

In recent yearsthere has been a tendency to pronounce the plural ending-es of processes as (-ôz), perhaps by analogy with words of Greek origin such asanalysis and neurosis. Butprocess is not of Greek origin, and there is no etymological justification for this pronunciation of its plural.The pronunciation may someday become so widespread as to be a standard variant,but it still strikes some listeners as a bungled affectation.
近年來(lái)，有把processes 的復(fù)數(shù)詞尾 -es 讀成(-ez)的趨勢(shì)， 這也許與源于希臘語(yǔ)的詞analysis 和 neurosis 相似。 但是process 不是來(lái)源于希臘語(yǔ)， 因此從詞源學(xué)的角度來(lái)說(shuō)，其復(fù)數(shù)形式不應(yīng)這么發(fā)音。或許有一天這種發(fā)音會(huì)被廣泛采用而成為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的變體，但仍有一些人聽(tīng)了這種發(fā)音后會(huì)覺(jué)得這是一種拙劣的矯揉造作
