<注释>Were they alive today, users of Classical Latin might be surprised to find that centuries later a phrase of theirs would still survive,although in the form of a single word.The phrasemihi in odiô est (literally translated as .to me in a condition of dislike or hatred is.), meaning .I hate or dislike,. gave rise to the Vulgar Latin verb.inodi3re, .to make odious,. the source of Modern Frenchennuyer, .to annoy, bore.. In the Old French period a noun meaning .worry, boredom,. came from the verbennuier. This noun in its Modern French formennui was borrowed into English in the sense .boredom,. the English word being first recorded in 732.People may have needed a word for boredom in the polite, cultivated world of the 8th century,but at an earlier period, around 275,we had already borrowed the French verbennuier, the source of our word annoy. One of the earliest instances ofannoy in English is, in fact, used in the sense .to bore an audience..
要是古拉丁文的使用者们今天还活着的话，他们很可能会吃惊地发现数世纪之后他们所用的一个短语依然在使用中，尽管采用了单个词的形式。短语mihi in odioest （按字面可翻译成.在不喜欢或憎恨情形下对我而言的是.）， 意思是.我恨或讨厌.生成了俗拉丁语动词inodiare， .使可憎.， 其又为现代法语ennuyer .使苦恼，使烦恼.的词源。 在古法语时期，一个意思是.焦虑、厌倦.的名词来源于动词ennuier 。 该名词的现代法语形式ennui 被引入英语中，意指.厌倦.， 该英语词于732年被首次记载，在8世纪的讲究礼节、有修养的社会里人们很可能需要一个词来表达厌倦之意，但在更早的时期，大约在275年，我们已经借入法语动词ennuier， 作为我们的单词 annoy 的来源。 annoy 在英语中最早的例子之一是它实际上是在.使观众厌倦.的意义上使用的
