twitterpated 的词源
twitterpated(adj.)
1942年,这个词似乎首次出现在华特·迪士尼的电影《小鹿斑比》中(虽然有一首同名歌曲,但并未包含在电影的正式发行版中)。它是一个过去分词形容词,源自twitter,在“颤抖的兴奋”名词意义上(1670年代)+ pate(名词2)意为“头”(可以与flutterpated,1894年比较)。
Flower, Bambi, Thumper: Twitterpated?
Friend Owl: Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!
Thumper: Gosh, that's awful.
花儿、小鹿、跳跳兔:twitterpated?
猫头鹰朋友:是的。几乎每个人在春天都会变得twitterpated。例如:你在路上走,专心自己的事,既不向左看,也不向右看,突然间就撞上了一张漂亮的脸。哇哦!你开始感到腿软,头脑一片混乱。然后你感觉轻如鸿毛,不知不觉中仿佛在空中行走。接着你知道吗?你被彻底击倒,完全失去了理智!
跳跳兔:天哪,这太可怕了。
