muttonhead的簡(jiǎn)寫

<注釋>Clipping not of sheep but of a word having to do with sheep has given us our termmutt for a mongrel dog. Clipping or abbreviating words, a standard process of word formation,shearedmutt from muttonhead, a pejorative term meaning .a stupid person,.based on the notion that sheep are stupid.Mutt in its first recorded use in 90 is used in the same senses asmuttonhead, but it is soon recorded (904)as a term of contempt for a horseand then (90') for a dog.We can be reasonably certain that theNew Yorker critic writing in 970 that .The cast includes a Sheepdog . . . a Mutt Bitch,. had no awareness that a sheepdog would make the ideal mutt.
不是對(duì)綿羊的修剪而是對(duì)與綿羊有關(guān)的一個(gè)詞進(jìn)行省略呈現(xiàn)給我們的專門名詞mutt 指雜種狗。 簡(jiǎn)略或縮寫單詞，一項(xiàng)規(guī)范的造詞過(guò)程，將mutt 從 muttonhead 縮略而得， 這個(gè)含貶義的詞意為.笨蛋.，源于綿羊是蠢笨的說(shuō)法。Mutt 最早記載于90年， 被用作muttonhead 的同義詞， 但不久(904年）的記載中，該詞表示對(duì)馬的蔑稱，然后(90'年）成為對(duì)狗的蔑稱。我們有理由肯定970年的New Yorker 一本批判性作品， 其評(píng)注.包括牧羊狗…狗雜種.就沒(méi)有意識(shí)到牧羊狗也可以表示十足的狗雜種之意
