<正文>American folk speech puts Standard English to shame in its wealth of words for describing weather conditions.When the weather goes from fair to cloudy,New Englanders say that it`s .breedin` up a storm. (Maine informant in theLinguistic Atlas of New England ). If the weather is clear, however,a New Englander might call itopen. Southernfair off and fair up, meaning .to become clear,. were originally Northeastern terms and were brought to the South as settlement expanded southward and westward.They are now .regionalized to the South,. according to Craig M. Carver, author ofAmerican Regional Dialects. These phrases may be the origin of modern and less regional coinings,such asmild up, used on a television weather forecast: .The Southwest is beginning to mild up just a tad..
美国方言对气候状态的描述因其包罗万象的单词使规范英语黯然失容。当气候由晴转多云时，新英格兰人会说.孕育着一场暴风雨.（新英格兰说话学图册 的缅因动静供给者）。 但若是气候是无云的，新英格兰人或许会说open。 南部的fair off 和 fair up 所表现的转晴， 发源于东北部词语，后被带到南部成为牢固用法并向南向西传播。按照克雷格M·卡弗尔，美国地域方言 的作者所说，它们此刻已.被南边地域化了.。 这些词组或许恰是古代不再具地域性的文句的发源，比方mild up， 用于电视气候预告： .东北将变得和缓一点.
<正文>The history of the wordfair illustrates how words can weaken in meaning over time. In Old English the ancestor offair, fôger, had senses such as .lovely, beautiful, pleasant, agreeable,. a far cry from our modern sense .mildly good or satisfying..The Old English senses passed into Middle English,where the wordfair started to take a slight turn in the direction already alluded to. Fair could mean .highly to be approved of, splendid, good,.but it could also be used ironically,as in Chaucer`s observation after a horse threw the Cook on the pilgrimage to Canterbury:.that was a fair feat of horsemanship by the Cook..This ironic use was probably not responsible for the semantic weakening offair, but it shows how a positive word can have its meaning reversed.The weakening offair was most likely caused by .the determined optimism which led to the use of fair . . . rather than direct expression of discontent,.in the words of George H. McKnight.One might add as another cause the desire to avoid hurting other people`s feelings.
单词fair 的汗青标明随光阴的流逝单词的语意变弱。 在古英语中fair，fôger 本意是.亲爱的，标致的，兴奋的.， 与咱们此刻的.比拟好或对劲的.截然不同。古英语传到中世纪英语时，fair 已起头在引伸的标的目标上有细小的转变。 Fair 能够抒发.被高度赞成的，光辉的，好的，.但也可用作反语，如在往坎特伯雷朝圣的途中马将科克摔下时后，乔尔斯批评道：.那是科克高深骑术的表现.。这类反语用法或许对fair 语义学上的弱化不接洽， 但它标明了一个贬义的单词能够变得意义完整相反。fair 的弱化很大水平上缘于.果断的悲观主义致使 fair 的用法转变， 而不是间接抒发不对劲的意义，.乔治赫·马克奈特如斯批评。人们能够再添上别的缘由以避免危险别人的豪情
