英文词源

thrall (n.): late Old English þræl "bondman, serf, slave," from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse þræll "slave, servant," figuratively "wretch, scoundrel," probably from Proto-Germanic *thrakhilaz, literally "runner," from root *threh- "to run" (cognates: Old High German dregil "servant," properly "runner;" Old English þrægan, Gothic þragjan "to run"). Meaning "condition of servitude" is from early 14c.

中文解释

1. slave => slav- => *thlav- => *thrav- => *thrau- => thrall.2. 这是一种缺乏理据性的根据音变规律和原理做出的一种联想和近义关联。其目的在于使单词更易于理解和记忆。3. 因此这种联想不是天马行空地乱联想，而是根据音变规律做出的一种比较合理的联想。4. 谐音“是奴啊，死奴啊，是奴哦，死奴哦”。
