词源 Etymology

lengthen 源自中古英语,由名词 length(长度)加上动词后缀 -en 构成。length 本身来自古英语 lengu,与日耳曼语系中的 lang(长的)同源。后缀 -en 是英语中常见的动词化手段,表示"使……变成某种状态",如 sharpen(使锋利)、darken(使变暗)等。该词最早出现于14世纪左右。

  • 在莎士比亚的《理查二世》(Richard II)中,"lengthen" 被用来描述悲伤使时间延长的感受:"Make me, that nothing have, with nothing grieved, and thou with all pleased, that hast all achieved! Long mayst thou live in Richard's seat to sit, and soon lie Richard in an earthy pit! God save King Henry, unkinged Richard says, and send him many years of sunshine days! What more remains?" 时间的"拉长"是莎剧中常见的意象。
