【引伸】
debunk.ern.(名词)<注释>One can readily see that
debunk is constructed from the prefix
de-, meaning .to remove,. and the word
bunk. But what is the origin of the word
bunk, denoting the nonsense that is to be removedô
Bunk came from a place where much bunk has originated, the United States Congress.During the 'th Congress (89-82) Felix Walker, a representative from western North Carolina whose district included Buncombe County, continued on with a dull speech in the face of protests by his colleagues.Walker replied he had felt obligated .to make a speech for Buncombe..Such a masterful symbol for empty talk could not be ignored by the speakers of the language,and
Buncombe, actually spelled
Bunkum in its first recorded appearance in 828 and later shortened to
bunk, became synonymous with
claptrap. The response to all this bunk seems to have been delayed,for
debunk is not recorded until 923. 可以很容易地看出
debunk 是由前缀
de-, 表.去掉.和单词
bunk 构成的。 可是单词
bunk 表示.要除去的无稽之谈.的含意的起源是什么呢ô
Bunk 来自美国国会,一个产生大量空话、假话的地方。在第'届国会期间(89-82年),一个来自北卡罗来纳州西部(其区域包括邦克姆县)的代表费列克斯·沃尔克面对其同僚们的抗议,而进行持续冗长枯燥的演讲,沃尔克说他有责任.为邦克姆发表演说.。这种说空话的杰作是不会被说英语的人忽视的。
Buncombe 实际上在828年第一次被记载时拼作
Bunkum , 后来缩写成
Bunk 并成为
claptrap 的同义词。 对这空话的反应似乎被耽搁了,因为
debunk 直到923年才被记录下来 注释>
