英语词汇aha的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Aha! William Safire (in his New York Times Magazine col- umn “On Language,” 2/17/97) calls this exultant cry of discov- ery “one of the great, unappreciated and deliciously nuanced words in the English language.” First recorded in Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales (ca. 1387), the palindronic Aha! has, I should add, even become the official scientific name for a genus of sphecid wasp. The genus was so named by Smithsonian Institu- tion researcher Arnold Menke to express his joy on discovering it. When he discovered a second species of Aha, Mr. Menke was even happier, naming it Aha ha. For still more good news about Aha! see Mr. Safire’s column and our entries hah hah and eureka.
