Middle English milne, mille
中古英语 milne, mille
from Old English mylen
源自 古英语 mylen
from Late Latin molona, molonum [from feminine and neuter of] molonus [of a mill]
源自 后期拉丁语 molona, molonum [] 源自molonus的阴性词和中性词 [磨坊的]
from Latin mola [millstone]
源自 拉丁语 mola [磨石]
from molere [to grind] * see mel…-
源自 molere [研磨] *参见 mel…-

<注释>Tomill, in Western U.S. English, means .to halt a cattle stampede by turning the lead animals..In theOxford English Dictionary we find this 9th-century example of the verb: .At last the cattle ran with less energy, and it was presently easy to ‘mill’ them into a circle and to turn them where it seemed most desirable. (Munsey`s Magazine).This usage ofmill comes from the resemblance of the cattle`s circular motion to the action of millstones. A related intransitive sense of the verb is better known in Standard English: A crowd milled around in the street. Originally this sense ofmill also meant .circular motion.; now it means .to move around in churning confusion.with no pattern in particular.
Mill 这个词在美国西部所说的英语中， 意为.通过让领头牲畜绕圈子跑来制止牛群的惊跑.。在牛津英语词典 中， 我们可以找到该动词9世纪用法的例子： .最后牛群终于跑得快没劲儿了，这时候可以容易地驱赶头牛，把其它牛绕进圈子里，然后把它们赶到最合适的地方去. （芒西杂志）。Mill 的这种用法来自牛群绕圈跑与磨石运作的相似之处。 该词作不及物动词时所具有的与此相关的意义在标准英语中更为常见： 一群人在大街上兜圈子。 Mill 的这一含义本来亦指.旋转运动.； 现在它指.在旋涡般的混乱中到处移动.，不再有其它特指
<注释>Industrial mill towns are a far cry from the small water mill grinding grain near an Anglo-Saxon settlement,but the same wordmill is used in both contexts, showing how the meaning of a word can be generalized.The Old English wordmylen, .water mill for grinding grain,. is itself adopted from Late Latinmolona or molonum, .mill,. just as the Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons, adopted the water mill from the Romans.In Middle Englishmilne, the descendant of the Old English word, was generalized to refer to a windmill, any power-driven mill for grinding grain, and a fulling mill.But it was left for the postmedieval,increasingly industrialized world really to generalize the meaning ofmill, applying it to machines such as pepper mills and cider millsand buildings such as textile mills and steel mills.Mill town is first recorded in 847.
工业化的制造区与原来盎格鲁-撒克逊人居住地附近那种靠水力推动来磨谷物的小型磨臼大不相同，但mill 这个词对这两种情况都适用， 这可以体现出某一词汇的意思是可以有概括性的。古英语中mylen 一词有.磨谷物的水磨.的意思， 这个词由后期拉丁语中的molina 或 molinum 而来，意为.磨臼.， 正如日尔曼民族中的盎格鲁-撒克逊人从罗马人那里引进了水磨。中古英语中milne 一词由古英语词而来， 它的词义已扩大，可指风车、任何靠动力驱动来磨谷物的磨以及缩洗机。不过在中世纪晚期，不断发展的工业化世界真正使mill 这个词在意义上有所扩大， 它可以指胡椒研磨机或苹果榨汁机等机器，也可以指纺织厂或钢铁厂等工厂。Mill town 这个词最早见载于847年
