词汇	tulip
释义	tu·lip AHD[to͞o′lĭp, tyo͞o′-] D.J.[ˈtuːlɪp, ˈtjuː-]K.K.[ˈtulɪp, ˈtju-]n.（名词）PhotoDisc, Inc. Any of several bulbous plants of the genusTulipa, native chiefly to Asia and widely cultivated for their showy, variously colored flowers. 郁金香：主要原产于亚洲的几种郁金香 属球茎植物，因其艳丽多彩的花朵而广为栽种 The flower of any of these plants.郁金香花：任一种这种植物的花 Etymology语源 French tulipe 法语 tulipe alteration of tulipan tulipan的变化 from Ottoman Turkish tülbend [muslin, gauze] 源自 奥斯曼土耳其语 tülbend [棉花，薄纱] 注释 Although we associate tulips with Holland and windmills,the history of the word takes us on an odyssey to the Middle East,where the tulip is associated with turbansand whence the flower was brought to Europe in the 16th century.The wordtulip, which earlier in English appeared in such forms as tulipa or tulipant, comes to us by way of Frenchtulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latintulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend, "muslin, gauze.” (Our wordturban, first recorded in English in the 16th century, can also be traced to Ottoman Turkishtülbend. ) The Turkish word for gauze, with which turbans can be wrapped, seems to have been used for the flowerbecause a fully opened tulip was thought to resemble a turban.尽管我们把郁金香和荷兰以及风车联系在一起，但该词的历史却带我们踏上通往中东的漫长旅途，在那里，郁金香与缠头巾相关，并在16世纪传到欧洲。tulip 一词在英语中的早期形式是 tulipa 或 tulipant ， 它源于法语tulipe 和其废词形式 tulipan ， 或是从奥斯曼土耳其语tulbend （“棉布，薄纱”）而来的现代拉丁词 tulīpa （我们的turban 一词在英语中首次记录于16世纪， 它也可追溯到奥斯曼土耳其语tulbend )。 看来土耳其语中表示用来裹住缠头巾的薄纱的词语曾被用于表示郁金香花，因为人们认为一朵盛开的郁金香与缠头巾极为相似
