In eighteen forty-four, the Republican Sentinel of Virginia wrote this about the opposition party: "The Whigs may attempt to belittle our candidates ... that is a favorite game of theirs."
1844年,弗吉尼亚的共和党哨兵报这样描写反对派:“辉格党可能试图贬低我们的候选人……那是他们惯用的伎俩。
In eighteen seventy-two, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, "Belittle has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better."
1872年,美国一位著名的词汇专家认为,是时候封杀这个词了。他说:“Belittle不可能成为英语。随着越来越多的美国作家开始和英国作家一样,觉得它一无所是,它越早被遗忘越好。
This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used, not only in the United States and England, but in other countries where the English language is spoken. It seems that efforts to belittle the word did not stop people from using it.
但这位专家未能封杀这个词。今天,Belittle不仅在美国和英国,还在其他使用英语的国家得到了广泛应用。 看来,贬低这个词所作的努力并未阻止人们使用它
