100个英语词汇起源及故事

100个英语词汇起源及故事 1、Chemistry 化学 古代的炼金术士们总想找到一种方法，将低贱的金属变为金子。现在通过原子裂变的原理表明，他们的这种想法并非一般人们想象的那么愚蠢。古埃及人入侵欧洲后，将他们所研究的炼金术，连同其命名al-kimia一起传入欧洲。后来，这个词变成alchemy，“炼金的人”叫做alchemist，最后成了chemistry。“化学” 的概念就是从“炼金术”演变来的。 2、Geology 地质学 “地质学”是研究形成地球的物质和地壳构造，以探讨地球的形成和发展的科学。Geology是从希腊语来的，ge即“earth”；-ology，“science”，即研究 地球本身的科学。 3、Law 法律 “法律”是立法机关制定的、国家政权保证执行的行为规则。Law在古英语中写作lagu，意即“something laid down（规定下来的事情）”。 4、Electricity 电 古希腊人常用琥珀制作爱情护符，确信戴着这种护符的人可以引来爱人。他们发现，磨擦琥珀可以吸引羽毛、线头等小东西，磨擦时会放出火花。他们就把这种磨擦起电的现象叫做elektron。来自希腊语elektor，意即“发光的太阳”，进入拉丁语后写作electrum。英语演变为electricity。 5、Atom 原子 古希腊人认为，特质是不可能无限止地分割下去的，越分越小，最后小到不可再分。他们把“原子”叫做atomos：a即“not”；tomos ，“cut”意即“不能再分割”以后这个词在英语中演变为atom。尽管后来发现“原子”并非“不可再分割”，然而约定俗成，“原子”的名字仍然以atom流传下来。 6、Uranium 铀 “铀”是一种放射性金属元素，化学符号为U，主要用来产生原子能。著名的物理学家居里夫人曾用铀作实验，发现了放射现象。
