| 词汇 | burden |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： O.E. byrðen "a load," from P.Gmc. *burthinjo "that which is borne" (cf. O.N. byrðr, O.S. burthinnia, Ger. bürde, Goth. baurþei), from PIE *bher- (1) "carry, give birth." The shift from -th- to -d- took place beginning 12c. (cf. murder). Archaic burthen is occasionally retained for the specific sense of "capacity of a ship." Sense of "leading idea" (1640s) and "refrain or chorus of a song" (1590s) are from use in M.E. bibles to translate Heb. massa "lifting up (of the voice), oracle;" but this sense is generally taken in English as "a heavy lot, fate." Burden of proof is recorded from 1590s. 词根记忆： n. 担子,重担,负担vt.给予负担或麻烦Banned murders in the suburb bring turbulent disturbance and burden to the urban turbine works.在郊区被禁止的谋杀给都市透平工厂带来汹湧骚乱和重负. |
