<注释>One indication of the gulf between us and our Victorian predecessorsis that theOxford English Dictionary fascicle containing the word film, published in 89', does not have the sense .a motion picture.. The one hint of the future to be found among still familiar older senses of the word,such as .a thin skin or membranous coating. or .an abnormal thin coating on the cornea,.is the sense offilm used in photography, a sense referring to a coating of material, such as gelatin,that could substitute for a photographic plate or be used on a plate or on photographic paper.Thus a word that has been with us since Old English times took on this new use,first recorded in 845,which has since developed and now refers to an art form,a sense first recorded in 920.
我们同我们维多利亚时代祖先之间的巨大隔阂的表现，就是89'年出版的《牛津英语词典》 分册包含的 film 一词没有.电影.这个含义。 在当中发现的对未来的提示仍然同这个词的旧有意思相近，例如.一层薄的皮或覆盖的薄膜.或.角膜上一种不正常的薄的覆盖物.，就是film 用于摄影的含义， 意思指覆盖物，如胶，可以代替感光板或用于感光板上或在相纸之上。因此从古英语时代出现这个新用法开始，这个词已同我们在一起了，在845年首次被记录，随着时代发展并指一门艺术形式，这个含义于920年才首次记录
