英文词源

translate: translate: [13] To translate something is etymologically to ‘carry it across’ from one language into another. The word was acquired from trānslātus, the past participle of Latin trānsferre ‘carry across, transfer, translate’ (source of English transfer).
=> extol, relate
translate (v.): early 14c., "to remove from one place to another," also "to turn from one language to another," from Old French translater and directly from Latin translatus "carried over," serving as past participle of transferre "to bring over, carry over" (see transfer), from trans- (see trans-) + latus "borne, carried" (see oblate (n.)). Related: Translated; translating. A similar notion is behind the Old English word it replaced, awendan, from wendan "to turn, direct" (see wend).
