| 词根词缀 | 词源： 1. crow (n.) O.E. crawe, imitative of bird's cry. Phrase eat crow is probably based on the notion that the bird is edible when boiled but hardly agreeable; first attested 1851, Amer.Eng., but said to date to War of 1812 (Walter Etecroue turns up 1361 in the Calendar of Letter Books of the City of London). Crow's foot "wrinkle around the corner of the eye" is late 14c. Phrase as the crow flies first recorded 1800. 2. crow (v.) O.E. crawian "make a loud noise like a crow;" sense of "exult in triumph" is 1522, perhaps in part because the English crow is a carrion-eater. 词根记忆： n. 乌鸦v./n.鸡啼,鸣叫The grown-up growled at a crowd of crows.那个成年人对着一群公鸡咆哮. |
