词源
- butterfly(蝴蝶):喜欢吃黄油的飞虫英语单词butterfly(蝴蝶)由butter(黄油) fly(飞虫)构成。那么,蝴蝶跟黄油到底有啥关系呢?有一种说法认为,是因为蝴蝶喜欢偷吃黄油和牛奶,还有一种说法认为,是因为很多蝴蝶的颜色像黄油,甚至还有一种说法认为,蝴蝶的粪便的颜色像黄油。 butterfly:['bʌtəflaɪ] n.蝴蝶
- butterfly蝴蝶butter, 黄油。fly, 昆虫。形容蝴蝶黄油色的翅膀。
- butterfly蝴蝶在英语中好些有翅昆虫都被称以fly,如firefly(萤火虫)housefly(家蝇)horsefly(马蝇)gadfly(牛虻)和dragonfly(蜻蜒)等,butterfly(蝴蝶)也在此列。传说蝴蝶喜吃牛奶、黄油(butter),故英语以butterfly为名。butterfly一词源自古英语buterfleoge,由butere‘butter’加fleoge‘flying creature’构成。以上传说也反映在蝴蝶的德语名称之一milchdieb,该词相当于英语milk-thief(偷奶贼)。另有一种解释说,其中butter是指蝶翅或排泄物的颜色。
