dogfish 的词源
dogfish(n.)
小鲨鱼的各种类型的名称,15世纪中期,dogge fysch,来自于dog (n.) + fish (n.)。据说之所以这样称呼,是因为它们成群猎捕。在古典时代,野狗也是鲨鱼的形象,希腊语中也使用kyon “狗”来指代狗鱼和鲨鱼,特别是较小的种类。
But in the Mediterranean, among the Greeks and Romans of antiquity, closer contact with sharks had left an impression of vicious dogs of the sea. Thus, Pliny's canis marinus. The metaphor of the dog spread to the North to dominate the European image of the shark, from the Italian pescecane and French chien de mer to the German Meerhund and Hundfisch and English sea dog and dogfish. [Tom Jones, "The Xoc, the Sharke and the Sea Dogs," in "Fifth Palenque Round Table, 1983," edited by Virginia M. Field, 1985.]
但在地中海地区,在古代希腊人和罗马人中,与鲨鱼的更密切接触给海洋中的恶犬留下了印象。因此,普林尼称之为canis marinus。狗的隐喻传播到北方,主导了欧洲对鲨鱼的形象,从意大利语pescecane和法语chien de mer到德语Meerhund和Hundfisch以及英语sea dog和dogfish。[汤姆·琼斯,《Xoc,Sharke和Sea Dogs》,收录于《第五届帕伦克圆桌会议,1983》,编辑:维吉尼亚·M·菲尔德,1985年。]
希腊语galeos “狗鱼或鲨鱼”可能基于galen “黄鼠狼,貂”,这也是一个鱼名。比较中英语wolf (n.),用于一种大型凶猛鱼类(14世纪末)。
