词汇 | scold |
词根词缀 | 词源: scold (n.) mid-12c., "person of ribald speech," also "person fond of abusive language," from O.N. skald "poet" (see skald). The sense evolution may reflect the fact that Gmc. poets (like their Celtic counterparts) were famously feared for their ability to lampoon and mock (e.g. skaldskapr "poetry," also, in Icelandic law books, "libel in verse"). From the beginning, used especially of women. The verb is attested from late 14c. 词根记忆: v. 责骂,训斥Before the premier, the old soldier scolds the cold weather.老兵当着首相的面咒骂寒冷的天气. |
