<注釋>The wordwindow conceals a poetic image that is not at all transparent. Our word comes to us from the Scandinavian invaders and settlers of England in the early Middle Ages.Although we have no record of the exact word they gave us,it was related to Old Norsevindauga, .window,. a compound made up ofvindr, .wind,. and auga, .eye,. reflecting the fact that at one time windows contained no glass.In our time we have takenwindow, which has been recorded in the language for almost 800 years, in a figurative direction with phrases such aslaunch window, weather window, and window of opportunity or vulnerability. Rockets and missiles now travel through the .wind`s eye..
window 這個詞掩蓋了一個不明顯的富有詩意的意象。 這個詞是中世紀(jì)初由斯堪的納維亞入侵者和英格蘭的開拓者帶來的。盡管沒有確切記錄這個詞是什么，但它與古斯堪的納維亞語中的vindouga 有關(guān)系，.窗戶.， 是由vindr .風(fēng).，和 auga .眼睛.組成的復(fù)合詞， 這反映出窗戶在當(dāng)時是沒有玻璃的。在現(xiàn)代我們用的window 已有記錄近800年了， 現(xiàn)在它已有了比喻意義，如在短語最佳發(fā)射時段, 海面平靜期, 和 window of opportunity 或 vulnerability。 火箭和導(dǎo)彈現(xiàn)在要穿過.風(fēng)的眼睛.
