<注釋>.Dentist figures [appears] now in our newspapers, and may do well enough for a French puffer [a writer of inflated advertisements];but we fancy Rutter is content with being called atooth-drawer. . In this quotation from the September 5, 759, issue of theEdinburgh Chronicle we seedentist in its infancy as an English word, trailing evidence of its French origin.If we had formed a word in English likedentist, which comes from the French word dent, .tooth,. we would havetoothist, a word that does not exist. Buttoothist and tooth-drawer lack the elegance of the French borrowing dentist, an elegance that is shared by other borrowings from French during the past four centuries,such asballet, champagne, coquette, coterie, and negligee.
.Dentist 現(xiàn)在在我們的報紙里出現(xiàn)了， 可能常是法國吹噓者宣傳的對象；但是，我們猜測魯特會對被稱為tooth-drawer 的東西感到滿意.。 在這段引自759年9月5日的雜志愛丁堡年記 的話中， 我們看到dentist 最初是作為一個英語單詞產(chǎn)生的， 它卻起源于法語。如果我們當(dāng)時在英語中構(gòu)造了象dentist （它源于法語 dent ）的這樣一個英語詞.tooth.， 我們將會得到一個根本就不存在的形式：toothist 。 但是toothist 和 tooth-drawer 缺乏法語借用詞 dentist 的高雅， 這種高雅為其他在這四百年里從法語中借用的詞所共有，如ballet，champagne，coquette，coterie 和 negligee
