词态变化


复数: recorders;

助记提示


1、re- "again" + cord- + -er.
2、该词可以说与remember是殊途同归。
3、该词的最初含义为:repeat, reiterate, recite, tell, relate, report, make known; remember, call to mind, think over, be mindful of. 其后,其含义演变为:set down in writing, put sound or pictures on disks, tape, etc.
4、记录、记载从某种意义上讲也就是对其说的内容进行重复、复述,将其记住。记录下来的东西其实就是无声的话语,有形的记忆,看得到的记忆。

英文词源


recorder (n.)
"chief legal officer of a city," early 15c., from Anglo-French recordour (early 14c.), Old French recordeor "witness; storyteller; minstrel," from Medieval Latin recordator, from Latin recordari "remember" (see record (v.)).

Meaning "registering apparatus" is from 1873. The musical instrument is attested by this name from early 15c., from record (v.) in the obsolete sense of "practice a tune." Used by Shakespeare and Milton ("of flutes and soft recorders," "Paradise Lost"). The name, and the device, were rarely heard by mid-1800s, ousted by the flute, but enjoyed a revival after 1911 as an easy-to-play instrument for musical beginners.
