词汇 monotonous
词源

monotonous (adj.)

1750年,用于声音,“音调单一的,以单调为特征的,音调单一的”,源自希腊语 monotonos “单调的”(见 monotony)。转义和比喻用法,“缺乏变化,乏味,单调无聊”,始于1783年。相关: Monotonously; monotonousness

The secondary sense of monotonous (same or tedious) has so nearly swallowed up its primary (of one pitch or tone) that it is well worth while to remember the existence of monotonic, which has the primary sense only. [Fowler]
monotonous”(相同或乏味)的次要意义几乎吞噬了其原始意义(一个音高或音调),因此值得记住 monotonic 的存在,它只有原始意义。[福勒]
最早记录年份: 1750
