<注釋>.The latest fiction. to most people means the latest novels or storiesrather than the most recently invented pretense or latest lie.All three senses of the wordfiction point back to its source, Latin fictiô, .the action of shaping, a feigning, that which is feigned.. Fictiô in turn was derived from fingere, .to make by shaping, feign, make up or invent a story or excuse.. Our first instance offiction, recorded in a work composed around 42, was used in the sense .invention of the mind, that which is imaginatively invented..It is not a far step from this meaning to the sense .imaginative literature,. first recorded in 599.
.最新的小說.對大多數人來說是指最新的小說或故事，而不是指最新捏造出的謊言。Fiction 這一詞的所有的三個意思都追溯到拉丁語中的詞源 fictio ，.假裝，偽造，做假的行為。. 反過來fictio 則起源於 fingere， .捏造一個故事或編一個藉口.。 我們可以在一部寫於42年前後的作品中找到fiction 的第一個例子， 文中所用的意思是.頭腦中的虛構，是充滿想像的虛構的.。這一意思已經和599年首次記錄的.虛構的文學作品.這層意思相去不遠了
