lipogram 的词源
lipogram(n.)
“写作时避免使用某个特定字母的所有单词”(一种古老的文学游戏;在英语中通常是-e-),1711年,源自希腊语lipogrammatikos,字面意思是“缺少一个字母”,由leipein(意为“留下,缺失”,来自原始印欧语词根*leikw-,意为“离开”)和gramma(意为“字母,符号”,参见-gram)构成。
If Youth, throughout all history, had had a champion to stand up for it; to show a doubting world that a child can think; and, possibly, do it practically, you wouldn't constantly run across folks today who claim that "a child don't know anything." A child's brain starts functioning at birth; and has, amongst its many infant convolutions, thousands of dormant atoms, into which God has put a mystic possibility for noticing an adult's act, and figuring out its purport. [Ernest Vincent Wright, "Gadsby: A Story of Over 50,000 Words without Using the Letter 'e'," Los Angeles: 1939]
如果历史上有一个为青春发声的倡导者,向怀疑的世界展示孩子们的思考能力,并可能在实践中证明这一点,那么今天就不会有那么多人声称“孩子什么都不知道”了。婴儿的脑部从出生起就开始运作,在其复杂的脑回路中,潜藏着成千上万的休眠原子,上帝赋予了它们一种神秘的能力,能够注意到成人的行为,并理解其意义。[欧内斯特·文森特·赖特,《加兹比:一部超过五万字不使用字母“e”的小说》,洛杉矶:1939年]
