词汇 | fiasco |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1855, theater slang for "a failure," by 1862 acquired the general sense of any dismal flop, on or off the stage. Via Fr. phrase fiare fiasco "turn out a failure," from It. far fiasco "suffer a complete breakdown in performance," lit. "make a bottle," from fiasco "bottle," from L.L. flasco, flasconem (see flask). The reason for all this is utterly obscure today, but "the usual range of fanciful theories has been advanced" [Ayto]. Weekley finds it utterly mysterious and compares Fr. ramasser un pelle "to come a cropper (in bicycling), lit. to pick up a shovel." OED makes nebulous reference to "alleged incidents in Italian theatrical history." Klein suggests Venetian glass-crafters tossing aside imperfect pieces to be made later into common flasks. But according to an Italian dictionary, fare il fiasco used to mean "to play a game so that the one that loses will pay the fiasco," in other words, he will buy the next bottle (of wine). That plausibly connects the word with the notion of "a costly mistake." 词根记忆: n. 大惨败(意大利词,原意为易碎的瓶子)[-o①表名词"人,物或状态"②表名词,用于音乐术语] 词根词缀: fiasco fiasco n 大惨败(意大利词,原意为易碎的瓶子) -o (1) 表名词,”人,物或状态” tyro n 新手(来自拉丁文tiro,新手) maestro n 音乐大师(maestro+master) impresario n “(娱乐圈的) 经理人(impresar,意大利语,意为管理) ”virtuoso n 艺术大师(virtuous有美德的) bravo n 歹徒(brav勇敢) mangifico n 高官,贵人(magn 大+ific+o) fresco n 壁画(fresc+fresh新鲜的…指画在墙上的画鲜艳) tornado n 龙卷风(torn=turn转=转的风) curio n 古董(curi好奇,关心+o) patio n 庭院,平台(pat平坦的) dynamo n 发电机(dynam力量) motto n 座右铭(mot动…行动之指南) relievo n 浮雕(relieve浮现) volcano n “火山(volcan来自vulcan,罗马神话中的火神) ”gusto n 嗜好(gust趣味,爱好) fiasco n 大惨败(意大利词,原意为易碎的瓶子) manifesto n 宣言,声明(manifest显示,证明) (2) 表名词,用于音乐术语 crescendo n (音乐) 渐强(cresc逐渐增加) diminuendo n (音乐) 渐弱(di使+minu小) tango n 探戈舞(来自黑人跳的tango舞) oratorio n 清唱剧(orator用嘴说) soprano n 女高音(sopran高音,高声+o) piano n 钢琴(pian轻柔+o) concerto n 协奏曲(concert音乐会+o) tempo n 节拍,速度(temp时间+o) solo n 独唱,独奏(sol独自+o) basso n 低音部(bass你,重+o) |
