| 词汇 | bread |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： O.E. bread "crumb, morsel," originally simply "piece of food" (cf. Slovenian kruh "bread," lit. "a piece"), from P.Gmc. *brautham (cf. O.N. brot, Dan. brød, Ger. Brot), which would be from the root of brew (q.v.). But other authorities deny this and suggest the basic sense was not "cooked food" but "piece," and the O.E. word derives from a P.Gmc. *braudsmon- "fragments, bits" (cf. O.H.G. brosma "crumb") and is related to the root of break. Replaced by 1200 the O.E. word for bread, which was hlaf, see loaf. The verb "to dress with bread crumbs" is from 1727. Slang meaning "money" dates from 1940s, but breadwinner is from 1818. Bread-and-butter in the fig. sense of "basic needs" is from 1732. Bread and circuses (1914) is from L., in ref. to food and entertainment provided by governments to keep the populace happy. "Duas tantum res anxius optat, Panem et circenses" [Juvenal, Sat. x.80]. 词根记忆： n. 面包The reader already readily spread the thread on the ready-made bread.那位读者已经欣然将丝线铺散在现成的面包上. |
