英文词源
- guerrilla (n.)
- "fighter in an irregular, independent armed force," 1809, from Spanish guerrilla "body of skirmishers, skirmishing warfare," literally "little war," diminutive of guerra "war," from a Germanic source cognate with Old High German werra "strife, conflict, war," from Proto-Germanic *werra- (see war (n.)). Acquired by English during the Peninsular War (1808-1814), when bands of Spanish peasants and shepherds annoyed the occupying French. Purists failed in their attempt to keep this word restricted to "irregular warfare" and prevent it taking on the sense properly belonging to guerrillero "guerrilla fighter." Figurative use by 1861. As an adjective from 1811.
中文解释
1. w <----> gu, -w- <---> -gu-.2. war => werr- (Old High German werra "war") => guerr- "war".3. guerr- "war" + -illa (diminutive suffix).4. literally "little war".5. guerrilla 原意是“小规模的战争”。在英语和西班牙语里，它都可以指对抗政府的一群非正式武装人员，即“游击队”。但在英语里主要是作为形容词，用在 guerrilla warfare（游击战）或 guerrilla marketing（游击营销）等短语中。需要注意的是，在西班牙语中，字母组合 ll 的发音与英语不同；而在英语里这个单词的发音跟 gorilla（猩猩）是一样的。
