<注釋>The wordmodern, first recorded in 585 in the sense .of present or recent times,. has traveled through the centuriesdesignating things that inevitably must become old-fashionedas the word itself goes on to the next modern thing.We have now invented the wordpostmodern, as if we could finally fixmodern in time, but evenpostmodern (first recorded in 949) will seem fusty in the end, perhaps sooner thanmodern will. Going back to Late Latinmodernus, .modern,. which is derived frommodo in the sense .just now,. the English wordmodern (first recorded at the beginning of the 'th century) was not originally concerned with anything that could be later considered old-fashioned. It simply meant .being at this time, now existing,. an obsolete sense today.Beginning in the later 'th century, however, we see the word contrasted with the wordancient and also used of technology in a way that is clearly related to our own modern way of using the word.Modern was being applied specifically to what pertained to present times and also to what was new and not old-fashioned.Thus in the 9th and 20th centuries the word could be used to designate a movement in art,which is now being followed by postmodernism.
單詞modern 首次於585年以.現在的或最近的時代.的意義被記載， 它已經歷了數個世紀，表明必然會變得過時的事物，就象這個詞本身也會繼續走向更加現代。現在我們已發明了單詞postmodern， 仿佛我們終於能及時固定住modern 的了， 但即使是postmodern （首次於949年記載）最終也會顯得過時， 也許比modern 更快。 可追溯至近代拉丁詞modernus .現代的.， 源自表示.剛才.意思的modo ， 英文單詞modern （首先在'世紀初被記載）原本與後來被認為過時的事物沒有任何聯繫。 它只意味著.現時的，現存的.，今天已廢棄了的一個意思。然而從'世紀晚期我們看到這個詞成為ancient 的反義詞並且用於科技， 其意義與我們現在使用的意義明顯相關。Modern 當時特指現時的事物， 也指新的且不過時的事物。因此在9世紀和20世紀這個詞能被用來表示藝術上的一個運動，現在尾隨其後的是後現代主義
