carouse的词源
英文词源
- carouse
- carouse: [16] Etymologically, carouse means to drink something up ‘completely’. Originally it was an adverb, used in phrases such as drink carouse (‘the tiplinge sottes at midnight which to quaffe carouse do use’, Thomas Drant, Horace’s Epigrams 1567). These were a partial translation of German trinken garaus, in which garaus is a compound adverb made up of gar ‘completely, all’ and aus ‘out’.
- carouse (v.)
- 1550s, from Middle French carousser "drink, quaff, swill," from German gar aus "quite out," from gar austrinken; trink garaus "to drink up entirely." Frequently also as an adverb in early English usage (to drink carouse).
中文词源
中国人喝酒有干杯的习俗，即双方碰杯后一饮而尽。西方人也有同样的习俗。英国人在祝酒时，讲完祝酒词后也会一饮而尽。在英语中称为“all out”（全干了）。德国人也一样，在德语中称为“gar aus”，意思就是“all out”。法国人则根据德语的“gar aus”创造了法语单词carous。而英语单词carouse就来自法语carous，其实是英语“all out”出口至德、法，改头换面地转一圈后又回来了。
