<注釋>The link between the senses .billfold, purse,. and .pocket-sized book. of the wordpocketbook can be clarified with a little historical information. The compound is first recorded in '7 in the sense of .a small book designed to be carried in a pocket..It is only recently that such books have looked like the paperbound books we are familiar with;these early paperbacks were bound like any book but were smaller in size.The next recorded use ofpocketbook ('85) is again for a book designed to fit in the pocket but this time used for notes or memoranda.The same word was then applied to a case that was shaped like a bookand in which money or papers could be kept.Finally, the wordpocketbook was transferred to yet another container for keeping things, a purse or handbag,rarely fitting in the pocketand not necessarily shaped like a book.
Pocketbook 一詞的兩種詞義.錢夾，手袋.和.口袋大小的書.之間的關(guān)聯(lián)通過一點(diǎn)歷史知識予以澄清。 這一復(fù)合詞在'7年被首次記錄為.被設(shè)計(jì)放在口袋里攜帶的一本小書.的意思。只是到不久前這種書看上去才象我們所熟悉的紙質(zhì)封皮的書籍；這些早期的紙皮書裝訂得除了大尺寸上小點(diǎn)之外與其它書都一樣。Pocketbook ('85年）的下一個(gè)記錄下來的用法又是指設(shè)計(jì)的以適合口袋大小的書， 但這次它卻被用來做筆記或便箋。這一詞后來又被用來指定形為本書一樣的盒子，并且里面可以存放錢或紙張。最后，pocketbook 這個(gè)詞又轉(zhuǎn)指另一種存放物品的容納物， 比如一只手袋或手提包，它很少會(huì)放得進(jìn)口袋，形狀也不一定象書。
