mannerism 的词源
mannerism(n.)
“在艺术或文学中过度或单调地使用独特的方法”,这个词最早出现在1803年,由 manner(方式)和 -ism(主义)组合而成。1819年,它又被用来指“习惯性的举止、言语或执行中的独特性”。相关词汇还有 Mannerisms(习惯性特征)。
Perhaps few of those who write much escape from the temptation to trade on tricks of which they have learnt the effectiveness; & it is true that it is a delicate matter to discern where a peculiarity ceases to be an element in the individuality that readers associate pleasantly with the writer they like, & becomes a recurrent & looked-for & dreaded irritation. But at least it is well for every writer to realize that, for his as for other people's mannerisms, there is a point at which that transformation does take place. [Fowler]
也许很少有作家能够完全避免利用自己学到的有效技巧的诱惑;确实,辨别一种独特性何时从读者愉快地联想到作家的个性元素,变成一种反复出现且令人期待甚至厌烦的烦恼,是一件微妙的事情。但至少,每位作家都应该意识到,无论是自己的还是他人的习惯性特征,都存在一个转变的临界点。[Fowler]
