canny词源中文解释

"知道,明智",来自苏格兰和北英格兰的形成,源于 can(v.1)在其“知道如何”意义上的使用,加上 -y(2)。这是 cunning 的双重形式,在苏格兰英语中形成了不同的意义。在斯科特的《中洛锡安之心》(1818)的词汇表中, uncanny 被定义为“危险的”,而 canny 则被定义为“熟练、谨慎、幸运; 在迷信的意义上,品性良好,易于处理; 值得信赖; 安静”。Cannily 是“温柔的”, canny moment 是“一个适时或幸福的时刻”。

因此,“知道”,从18世纪开始,“小心、熟练、聪明”,也“节俭、节约”,从19世纪初开始(可能通过斯科特的小说),“谨慎、小心、精明”。常被南方邻居(和他们的美国表兄弟)傲慢地用来形容苏格兰人。

The Canny Scot is so well known as scarcely to require description. He carries caution, cunning, and selfishness to excess. Deceitful when a purpose is to be accomplished, he is not habitually deceitful. One thing he never loses sight of—his own interest. But of his own interest he is not the most enlightened judge. ["The Natural History of Scotsmen," in The Argosy, December 1865]
Canny Scot 是如此出名,以至于几乎不需要描述。他过分谨慎、狡猾和自私。当需要达到某个目的时,他会欺骗别人,但他不是习惯性的欺骗者。他从不失去一个东西——他自己的利益。但他对自己的利益并不是最明智的判断者。["苏格兰人的自然历史",载于《阿戈西》(The Argosy),1865年12月]
