barge的词源

bargeyoudaoicibaDictYouDict
barge: [13] Barge comes in the first instance from Old French barge, but speculation has pushed it further back to medieval Latin *barica, which would have derived from báris, a Greek word for an Egyptian boat. This hypothetical *barica would have been a by-form of late Latin barca, which came into English via Old French as barque, also spelled bark, ‘sailing vessel’ [15] (source of embark). The metaphorical use of the verb barge, ‘move clumsily or rudely’, is barely a hundred years old; it comes from the ponderous progress made by barges.
=> bark, barque, embark

barge (v.)youdaoicibaDictYouDict
"to journey by barge," 1590s, from barge (n.). The form barge into and the sense "crash heavily into," in reference to the rough handling of barges, dates from 1830s, American English. Related: Barged; barging.

barge(驳船):古埃及人用来运输货物的拖船

古埃及人生活在尼罗河畔,很早就学会了造船航行的技术。为了充分利用尼罗河水的自然力量,他们还发明了最早的驳船,在科普特语中称为baris。这种船宽敞结实,据古代历史学家希罗多德在其名著《历史》一书中记载,一次可以装载上千塔兰特(古代重量单位,大约60公斤)的货物。古埃及人用柳木和芦苇编织成筏子,将其系在baris前面,为它提供牵引力,并在baris的尾部用绳子绑块石头来保持方向,轻快的筏子就会拖着沉重的baris沿尼罗河顺流而下。英语单词barge就源自古埃及人制造的这种baris,用来表示平底、宽大的货船,即所谓的驳船。这种船行动迟缓笨拙,所以barge一词又衍生出“笨拙或粗鲁地闯入”之意。

古埃及人生活在尼罗河畔,很早就学会了造船航行的技术。为了充分利用尼罗河水的自然力量,他们还发明了最早的驳船,称为baris。这种船用橡胶树的木板做成,宽敞结实,据古代历史学家希罗多德在其名著《历史》一书中记载,一次可以装载上千塔兰特(古代重量单位,大约60公斤)的货物。古埃及人用柳木和芦苇编织成筏子,将其系在bari前面,为它提供牵引力,并在bari的尾部用绳子绑块石头来保持方向,轻快的筏子就会拖着沉重的bari沿尼罗河顺流而下。英语单词barge就源自古埃及人制造的这种bari,用来表示平底、宽大的货船,即所谓的驳船。这种船行动迟缓笨拙,所以barge一词又衍生出“笨拙或粗鲁地闯入”之意。

barge:驳船

来自拉丁词barca, 驳船。

barge:驳船

“驳”这个字,是对barge整体读音的音译,就像“卡车”的“卡”是对car的音译一样。embark(上船,上飞机;着手做),em为前缀,相当于in,词根bark和单词barge同源,根义为“小船”。短语:embark on sth.开始着手做某事。
