<注釋>Were they alive today, users of Classical Latin might be surprised to find that centuries later a phrase of theirs would still survive,although in the form of a single word.The phrasemihi in odiô est (literally translated as .to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is.), meaning .I hate or dislike,. gave rise to the Vulgar Latin verb.inodi3re, .to make odious,. the source of Modern Frenchennuyer, .to annoy, bore.. In the Old French period a noun meaning .worry, boredom,. came from the verbennuier. This noun in its Modern French formennui was borrowed into English in the sense .boredom,. the English word being first recorded in 732.People may have needed a word for boredom in the polite, cultivated world of the 8th century,but at an earlier period, around 275,we had already borrowed the French verbennuier, the source of our word annoy. One of the earliest instances ofannoy in English is, in fact, used in the sense .to bore an audience..
要是古拉丁文的使用者們今天還活著的話,他們很可能會吃驚地發現數世紀之後他們所用的一個短語依然在使用中,儘管採用了單個詞的形式。短語mihi in odioest (按字面可翻譯成.在不喜歡或憎恨情形下對我而言的是.), 意思是.我恨或討厭.生成了俗拉丁語動詞inodiare, .使可憎., 其又為現代法文ennuyer .使苦惱,使煩惱.的詞源。 在古法文時期,一個意思是.焦慮、厭倦.的名詞來源於動詞ennuier 。 該名詞的現代法文形式ennui 被引入英文中,意指.厭倦., 該英文詞於732年被首次記載,在8世紀的講究禮節、有修養社會里人們很可能需要一個詞來表達厭倦之意,但在更早的時期,大約在275年,我們已經借入法文動詞ennuier, 作為我們的單詞 annoy 的來源。 annoy 在英文中最早的例子之一是它實際上是在.使觀眾厭倦.的意義上使用的
