Words that Changed Meaning改了意思的词

Words that did not stay where they began.没有留在出发点的词。

Some words drift. A name for a farm servant becomes a moral accusation. A word for ignorance becomes mild praise. Dread thins into disapproval, or into applause, and a way of sowing a field becomes a way of speaking to everyone at once.

有些词会漂移。庄园雇工的名称变成道德指控。表示无知的词变成轻的夸奖。恐惧变薄,成了不满,或成了掌声。一种播种的办法变成同时对所有人说话的办法。
