來源:Alteration of vow 2 vow2的變化
<注釋>A New Englander expressing surprise is liable to say,.Well, I vum!. This odd-sounding word is in fact an alteration of the verbvow that goes back to the days of the American Revolution.It is also heard simply as.Vum!. or as a sort of past participle: .I`ll be vummed!. A southern equivalent isswanny, also meaning .swear.: Now, I swanny! According to theOxford English Dictionary, the word swanny derives from the dialect of the North of England: Is` wan ye, .I shall warrant ye.. 一個新英格蘭人表示驚訝時會說.嗯,我發(fā)誓!. 這個聽起來有些古老的詞實際上是vow 這個動詞的變體, 它可以上溯到美國獨立戰(zhàn)爭時期。也可以僅用"Vum!"(.發(fā)誓!.) 或作為過去分詞: "I`ll be vummed!"(.我可以發(fā)誓!.) 南方相同的詞是Swanny, 也是.發(fā)誓.的意思: Now, I swanny!(現(xiàn)在,我起誓!) 按照牛津英語字典, swanny 一詞由北英格蘭方言派生而來: Is` wan ye, .我向你保證. 注釋>
