Baker, Jr.})“消除赤字…只是空中楼阁”(小霍华德H.贝克)语源:Middle English 中古英语 注释:The etymology of the wordpie turns etymologists into Simple Simons, that is, we do not know what it is for certain.It may come from Medieval Latinpica or pia, “pie, pasty,” but we do not know the origins of these wordsand the earliest use of the Middle English wordpie is earlier (1199) than the first use of Medieval Latin pica (c. 1310) or pia (1230). It has been suggested that Medieval Latinpica may be from Latin p&9{ºca,} “magpie.” The connection could have been made because the miscellaneous nature of pie ingredients might have brought to mind either the magpie's piebald coloration or its habit of collecting miscellaneous items.In any case, the first pies contained fowl, fish, or meat;the first certain recorded mention of a fruit pie is in Robert Greene'sArcadia, published in 1590: “Thy breath is like the steame of apple-pyes.”Pie 的词源把词源学家变成了傻子, 也就是说我们对它的来源无法确定。它可能来源于中世纪拉丁语pica 或 pia 意为“馅饼,面团,” 但我们不知道这些词的词源,并且中世纪英语pie 的最早使用(1199年)比中世纪拉丁语 pica (公元1310年)或 pia (1230年)的最早使用还要早。 也有人说中世纪拉丁语pica 可能来源于意为“喜鹊”拉丁文 pica。 其联系大约是因为馅饼原料混杂的特性让人联想到喜鹊杂色的毛或其收集各种各样东西的习惯。无论怎样,最初的馅饼包有禽肉、鱼肉或兽内;对水果派最早的、有确定记录的叙述出现在出版于1590年的罗伯特·格林的作品阿卡底亚 中: “你的呼吸如苹果派的香气” pie 2 pie 2 AHD: [pº] D.J.
