大家好,欢迎来到IT知识分享网。
英文单词onomatopoeia(拟声,象声)来自于两个希腊词onom=name, poie=I make,连起来的意思就是 “the name (or sound) I make,也就是说,这类词与其发出的声音很像。今天,我们就来说说这个拟声词。本头条号与微信公众号同号,更多内容敬请关注
拟声词往往从长相上就可见一斑,所以也叫“字形拟声”,就是说,从单词的长相上看出这个词的声音含义。比如,与“水”有关的词往往含有sp/dr等流水声:
· bloop
· drip
· drizzle
·splash
· spray
· sprinkle
· squirt
我们来看一首与水有关的小诗
Water plops into pond
Splish-splash downhill
Warbling magpies in tree
Trilling, melodic thrill
Whoosh, passing breeze
Flags flutter and flap
Frog croaks, bird whistles
Babbling bubbles from tap
与“声音”有关的词,往往带有gr/mu,模拟了喉、嘴、唇的声音,如:
· bawl
· belch
· blurt
· chatter
· giggle
· growl
· grunt
· gurgle
· mumble
· murmur
与“碰撞”有关的词,往往带有cl/th/ng等清脆或沉闷的撞击声,如:
· bam
· bang
· clang
· clank
· clap
· clatter
· click
· clink
· ding
· jingle
· screech
· slap
· thud
· thump
与“气流”有关的词,如whisper,就常带wh这种摩擦气息,如:
· flutter
· gasp
· swish
· swoosh
· whiff
· whoosh
· whizz
· whip
· whisper
根据动物发出的声音来造词,也是英文中的一大特色,如
· bark
· bray
· buzz
· cheep
· chirp
· chortle
· cluck
· cock-a-doodle-doo
· cuckoo
· hiss
· meow
· moo
· neigh
· oink
· purr
· quack
· ribbit
· tweet
· warble
上面这些常见的拟声词就够大家喝一壶的了,末了,我再引述一首小诗做结:本头条号与微信公众号同号,更多内容敬请关注
Onomatopoeia every time I see ya
My senses tell me hubba
And I just can’t disagree.
I get a feeling in my heart that I can’t describe. . .
It’s sort of whack, whir, wheeze, whine
Sputter, splat, squirt, scrape
Clink, clank, clunk, clatter
Crash, bang, beep, buzz
Ring, rip, roar, retch
Twang, toot, tinkle, thud
Pop, plop, plunk, pow
Snort, snuck, sniff, smack
Screech, splash, squish, squeak
Jingle, rattle, squeal, boing
Honk, hoot, hack, belch.
(“Onomatopoeia”, song by Todd Rundgren)
