來(lái)源：
Middle English
中古英語(yǔ)
from nappen [to doze]
源自 nappen [打盹]
from Old English hnappian
源自 古英語(yǔ) hnappian

<注釋>The famous verse 4 in Psalm 2,rendered in the King James Version as .Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep,.is rendered in a Middle English translation as .Loo, ha shal not nappen ne slepen that kepeth ireal..The wordnappen is indeed the Middle English ancestor of our wordnap. Lest it be thought undignified to say that God could nap,it must be realized that our wordnap was at one time not associated only with the younger and older members of society nor simply with short periods of rest.The ancestors of our word,Old Englishhnappian and its descendant, Middle Englishnappen, could both refer to prolonged periods of sleep as well as short ones and also, as in the quotation from Psalm 2, to sleepiness.But these senses have been lost.Since the word has become less dignified,we would not findnap used in a translation of Psalm 2 any longer.
圣經(jīng)詩(shī)篇2中著名的第四節(jié)，在欽定圣經(jīng)譯本中記為.看吧，他，守衛(wèi)以色列的人既不能熟睡也不能打盹，.在中世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)中被譯為.Loo , ha shal not nappen ne slepen that kepeth ireal.。單詞nappen 在中世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)中就存在， 是單詞nap 的前身。 避免人們不尊敬地認(rèn)為上帝也能打盹，我們必須認(rèn)識(shí)到單詞nap 某些時(shí)候不只是與社會(huì)中的年輕人和老年人相關(guān)， 當(dāng)然它也不僅指短暫的休息。這個(gè)單詞的前身，古英語(yǔ)中hnappian 及后來(lái)它的衍生詞， 中世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)中的nappen 都能表示延長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的睡眠及短暫的睡眠， 如同圣經(jīng)詩(shī)篇2中的引語(yǔ)，表示小睡。但這些意思都已經(jīng)失傳了。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)單詞逐漸變得不再神圣，我們已無(wú)法再找到nap 用于圣經(jīng)詩(shī)篇2的翻譯中的意思了
