The central meaning shared by these nouns is “an individual, often specialized element of a whole”: 这些名词的共同含义是“个体的,通常是一个整体的专门化元素”: furnished the particulars of the accident. 提供事故的全部细节 注释:The worditem seems to us to be very much a noun, whether it refers to an article in a collection or a bit of information.But it began its life in English (first recorded before 1398) as an adverbmeaning “moreover, also, in addition.”Item as typically used in front of each object listed in an inventory, as we might putalso. This use in English simply reflects a meaning of the word in Latin.However, it is easy to see howitem could be taken to stand for the thing that it preceded, and so we get, for example, the sense “an article included in an enumeration.”The first such usages are found in the 16th century,while the sense “a bit of information” is not found until the 19th century.In the 20th century we added a computer sense,a further addition toitem. 单词item 对我们来说只是一个名词, 它可以指一个文集中的一篇文章或者是一些信息。但是它的起源却是一个副词(最早见于1398年以前),意思为“此外,而且,同样”。Item 最典型是用在商品目录的每一个物品的前面, 就象我们使用also 一样。 这种用法反映在拉丁词语上仅有一个含义。然而,明白item 是怎样被用来代表它前面的事物是很容易的, 所以我们得到了像“文集中的一篇文章”等这种含义。这种用法最早见于16世纪,而含义“一些信息”一直到19世纪才被发现使用。在20世纪时,我们加了一个计算的含义,进一步形成了今天的item |
