Did You Know?
Was there once a warlike man named Harry who is the source for the English verb the name mirrors？ One particularly belligerent Harry does come to mind： William Shakespeare once described how “famine， sword， and fire” accompanied “the warlike Harry，” England‘s King Henry the Fifth。 But neither this king nor any of his namesakes are the source for the verb harry。 Rather， harry （or a word resembling it） has been a part of English for as long as there has been anything that could be called English。 It took the form hergian in Old English and harien in Middle English， passing through numerous variations before finally settling into its modern spelling。 The word’s Old English ancestors are related to Old High German words heriōn （“to devastate or plunder”） and heri （“host， army”）。
曾經有一個好戰的人叫Harry，這個名字映射了英語動詞的來源嗎？我確實想到了一個特別好戰的哈里王子：威廉·莎士比亞曾經描述過“famine， sword， and fire「饑荒、刀劍和烈火」”是如何伴隨著“the warklike Harry 「好戰的哈里王子」”——英國國王亨利五世的。但這個國王和其他同名的人都不是動詞 harry 的來源。事實上，自從有被稱為英語的東西（存在）以來，harry （或一個類似於harry的單詞）就一直是英語的一部分。它在古英語中以 hergian 的形式出現，在中古英語中以 harien 的形式出現，經歷了無數的變化後，最終被固定在現代拼寫中。這個詞的古英語祖先與古高地德語詞有關 ：heriōn （“to devastate or plunder「毀滅或掠奪」”）和 heri （“host，army「寄主，軍隊」”）。
