bubble
英 ['b?b(?)l]
美 ['b?bl]
- n. 氣泡，泡沫，泡狀物；透明圓形罩，圓形頂
- vi. 沸騰，冒泡；發(fā)出氣泡聲
- vt. 使冒泡；滔滔不絕地說
助記提示
1. 區(qū)別：bubble, babble.
2. babble 是由擬聲詞根*ba-(模擬小孩咿啞學(xué)語言的聲音)演變而來，由此兩個(gè)詞就區(qū)分開了。
3. bubble 也應(yīng)該是擬聲詞，由*bo-(對(duì)應(yīng)漢語為：啵，啵；就是模擬吹氣泡發(fā)出的聲音)擬聲詞根演變而來，然后元音降級(jí)（-o- => -u-）而得。

英文詞源
- bubble
- bubble: [14] Several Germanic languages have words that sound like, and mean the same as, bubble – Swedish bubla, for instance, and Dutch bobbel – but all are relatively modern, and there is no evidence to link them to a common source. As likely as not, the whole family of bubble words represents ultimately an attempt to lexicalize the sound of bubbling, by blowing through nearly closed lips.

- bubble (v.)
