detective 的词源
detective(n.)
“一个职业是调查人们所需信息的,特别是关于不法之徒的,并收集证据以对付他们的人。”这个词最早出现在1828年,是detective police(侦探警察)的缩写,源自detective(形容词),意为“适合或擅长侦查的”(到1828年时已使用)。可以参考detect和-ive。
His duties differ from those of the ordinary policeman in that he has no specific beat or round, and in that he is concerned with the investigation of specific cases, or the watching of particular individuals or classes of offenders, rather than with the general guardianship of the peace, and does not wear a distinguishing uniform. [Century Dictionary, 1897]
他的职责与普通警察不同,因为他没有固定的巡逻路线,而是专注于调查特定案件,或监视特定的个人或罪犯群体。他的工作不是一般的治安维护,也不穿着显眼的制服。[《世纪词典》,1897年]
