spillʹer n.(名词)注释- One is not supposed to cry over spilled milk,but at one time the wordspill was associated with many tears. Old Englishspillan, the ancestor of Modern Englishspill, had meanings such as "to destroy, mutilate, kill.”The hints of its future life in connection with substances falling out of containers, often wastefully, were contained in the senses "to waste" and "to shed blood.”But many people, castles, and fortunes were "spilled" before people started spilling milk,at least judging from the recorded evidence.Spill is first recorded in the sense "to cause a substance to fall out of a container" in a work composed in the 14th century.Since then, much water, milk, and gravy have been spilled,while most of the senses having to do with destruction and bloodshed have become obsolete or archaic.对着打翻的牛奶哭是无济于事的,但spill 这个词曾经和眼泪有联系。 古英语单词spillan , 即现代英语单词spill 的祖先, 具有例如“毁灭,破坏,杀死”等意思。而其“浪费”及“使血流出”的含意则暗示着这个古词将来会与通常是浪费性质的从容器中溢出之物发生联系。但在人们开始洒牛奶之前就已“杀死”了许多人命,“毁坏”了许多城堡,“浪费”了许多财富,这一点至少可以从记载下来的证据判断出来。Spill 最初记录下来的意思是“使一物质溢出一容器”, 这一含意出现于14世纪的一本著作中。从那时起,这个词表达人们泼洒了大量的水、牛奶及肉汁,而这个词与毁灭及流血有联系的有关意思则都成了过时用法或古代用法
