deceit 的词源
deceit(n.)
约1300年,意为“欺骗,背叛,撒谎”,来自古法语deceite,是deceveir, decevoir的女性过去分词,源自拉丁语decipere,意为“诱捕,欺骗,欺诈”,由de“从”或贬义(参见de-)+ capere“抓住”组成,来自原始印欧语词根*kap-“抓住”。
从14世纪中期开始,意为“欺骗的行为或实践”,也指“虚假的外观,幻觉”。从14世纪晚期开始,意为“虚假或误导的特性”。
Deceit is a shorter and more energetic word for deceitfulness, indicating the quality; it is also, but more rarely, used to express the act or manner of deceiving. The reverse is true of deception, which is properly the act or course by which one deceives, and not properly the quality; it may express the state of being deceived. Fraud is an act or series of acts of deceit by which one attempts to benefit himself at the expense of others. It is generally a breaking of the law; the others are not. [Century Dictionary]
Deceit是一个更简短、更有力的词,表示欺骗的特性;它也可以,但较少用于表示欺骗的行为或方式。Deception的情况正好相反,它通常表示一个人欺骗的行为或过程,而不是特性;它可以表示被欺骗的状态。Fraud是通过欺骗行为或一系列行为试图以他人利益为代价来使自己受益的行为。它通常是违法的,而其他则不是。[世纪词典]
