助記提示

2. This word derives from intricate, but the meaning influenced by trick, so the meaning has extended.
3. 源于 intricate , 但含義受到了 trick 的影響,因此使其具有了 trick 的含義。
4. 這也許是由于該詞的古體形式的詞干與 trick 的古體形式的詞干完全相同,使人們?cè)谑褂弥袑⑵渎?lián)系起來(lái)了,這種本不相干的單詞,由于發(fā)音或拼寫(xiě)形式的相同或相近而被人們有意無(wú)意聯(lián)系起來(lái),而使其含義發(fā)生關(guān)聯(lián)的想象,在英語(yǔ)中還是比較常見(jiàn)的。
5. 諧音“陰吹哥”----吹噓陰謀詭計(jì)的人。
