<注釋>Were they alive today, users of Classical Latin might be surprised to find that centuries later a phrase of theirs would still survive,although in the form of a single word.The phrasemihi in odiô est (literally translated as .to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is.), meaning .I hate or dislike,. gave rise to the Vulgar Latin verb.inodi3re, .to make odious,. the source of Modern Frenchennuyer, .to annoy, bore.. In the Old French period a noun meaning .worry, boredom,. came from the verbennuier. This noun in its Modern French formennui was borrowed into English in the sense .boredom,. the English word being first recorded in 732.People may have needed a word for boredom in the polite, cultivated world of the 8th century,but at an earlier period, around 275,we had already borrowed the French verbennuier, the source of our word annoy. One of the earliest instances ofannoy in English is, in fact, used in the sense .to bore an audience..
要是古拉丁文的使用者們今天還活著的話，他們很可能會吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)數(shù)世紀(jì)之后他們所用的一個(gè)短語依然在使用中，盡管采用了單個(gè)詞的形式。短語mihi in odioest （按字面可翻譯成.在不喜歡或憎恨情形下對我而言的是.）， 意思是.我恨或討厭.生成了俗拉丁語動詞inodiare， .使可憎.， 其又為現(xiàn)代法語ennuyer .使苦惱，使煩惱.的詞源。 在古法語時(shí)期，一個(gè)意思是.焦慮、厭倦.的名詞來源于動詞ennuier 。 該名詞的現(xiàn)代法語形式ennui 被引入英語中，意指.厭倦.， 該英語詞于732年被首次記載，在8世紀(jì)的講究禮節(jié)、有修養(yǎng)的社會里人們很可能需要一個(gè)詞來表達(dá)厭倦之意，但在更早的時(shí)期，大約在275年，我們已經(jīng)借入法語動詞ennuier， 作為我們的單詞 annoy 的來源。 annoy 在英語中最早的例子之一是它實(shí)際上是在.使觀眾厭倦.的意義上使用的
