<注釋>A department store mannequin is often not a man and often not little,yetmannequin goes back to the Middle Dutch word mannekijn, the diminutive form ofman. Of course we must consider the fact thatman in Dutch, as in English, has often been used to mean .person.. As for the size of a mannequin,the Middle Dutch word could mean .dwarf. but in Modern Dutch developed the specialized sense of .an artist`s jointed model..This was the sense in which we adopted the word (first recorded in 570),another term likeeasel and landscape that was taken over from the terminology of Dutch painters of the time. The word borrowed from Dutch now has the formmanikin. We later adopted the French version of the Dutch word as well,giving Englishmannequin. Mannequinis considered to be first recorded in a dictionary published from 730 to 73' or in 902,depending on whether one regards early forms showing French influence as variants ofmanikin or as representations of a new word. In any event,mannequin is now the form most commonly encountered and the one commonly used for a department store dummy as well as a live model.
一個(gè)百貨店的時(shí)裝模特一般不用男子并且也不會(huì)太小，但mannequin 一詞來(lái)源于中世紀(jì)時(shí)的荷蘭語(yǔ) mannekijn， 是man 的小詞形式。 當(dāng)然，我們應(yīng)該考慮到在荷蘭語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)中，man 被用來(lái)指.一個(gè)人.。 至于人體模型的大小，這個(gè)中世紀(jì)荷蘭詞語(yǔ)可以表示.侏儒.，但在現(xiàn)代荷蘭語(yǔ)中發(fā)展出一個(gè)特定的意思是.藝術(shù)家的關(guān)節(jié)活動(dòng)的人體模型.。我們?nèi)〉木褪沁@個(gè)意思（最早記載于570年），其它如easel 和 landscape 也是從當(dāng)時(shí)荷蘭畫家所用術(shù)語(yǔ)中搬過(guò)來(lái)的。 從荷蘭語(yǔ)來(lái)的這個(gè)詞今天的形式是manikin 。 我們后來(lái)又接受了這個(gè)荷蘭詞的法語(yǔ)變體，英語(yǔ)詞是manneqin 。 Mannequin一般認(rèn)為最早記載于一本字典中， 出版于730-73'年間或902年，主要看是把該詞的較早的形式看作是用法語(yǔ)影響的manikin 一詞的變體還是看作是一個(gè)新詞。 不論如何，mannequin 一詞現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是最為常見(jiàn)的形式了， 通常用來(lái)表示百貨商店里的人體模型或真人模特
