关于born和borne的区别
- Oxford Dictionary
Until the 18th century borne and born were simply variant forms of the past participle of bear, used interchangeably with no distinction in meaning. By around 1775, however, the present distinction in use had become established. At that time borne became the standard past participle used in all the senses listed in this dictionary entry, e.g. she has borne you another son, the findings have been borne out, and so on. Born became restricted to just one very common use, which remains the case today: in the passive, without by, as the standard, neutral way to refer to birth: she was born in 1965, he was born lucky, or I was born and bred in Gloucester.
直到18世纪,borne和born只是bear过去分词的变体形式,可以互换使用,意思没有区别。然而,到1775年左右,目前在使用上的区别已经确立。在那个时候,borne成为了标准的过去分词,用于本词典条目中列出的所有意义,例如,她又给你生了一个儿子,研究结果已经得到证实,等等。Born被限制为一个非常常见的用法,今天仍然如此:在被动的、没有by作为标准的、中性的方式来指代出生:她出生于1965年,他生来就很幸运,或者说我是在格洛斯特出生和长大的。
