ungood 的词源
ungood(n.)
“坏,邪恶,不好的”,古英语 ungōd,来自 un- (1) “不” + good (形容词)。在德语中类似构成 ungut。在1300年后已过时,20世纪稍有复兴。
“After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take ‘good’, for instance. If you have a word like ‘good’, what need is there for a word like ‘bad’? ‘Ungood’ will do just as well—better, because it’s an exact opposite, which the other is not. ..." ["Nineteen Eighty-Four"]
“毕竟,为什么要有一个仅仅是另一个词反义词的词呢?一个词本身就包含了它的反义词。以‘good’为例。如果你有一个像‘good’这样的词,为什么还需要一个像‘bad’这样的词呢?‘Ungood’同样可以—更好,因为它是一个确切的反义词,而另一个不是。” ["1984"]
