<注釋>The games people play can become deadly serious,as exemplified by the wordkaput. Our word is an adoption of the German word kaputt, whose senses are similar to those of the English word.German in turn borrowed this word from the French gaming tables,wherecapot as an adjective meant .not having won a single trick at piquet.. Devastating as this might be to a piquet player,it would surprise kibitzers to see how widely the word`s range of meaning has been extended in German and English,in which it is first recorded in 895.For example, one`s car can be kaput and so can oneself.As for the ultimate source of Frenchcapot we cannot be certain,but it seems to go back to a modern Provenôal word,of which the first element iscap, .head..
人們?cè)谕媾茣r(shí)可能變得非常認(rèn)真，如kaput 一詞例示的這個(gè)英語(yǔ)單詞是吸收了德語(yǔ) kaputt 一詞演變而來(lái)的。 該德語(yǔ)詞的詞義與它的詞義相似。而德國(guó)人又從法國(guó)人的賭桌上借用了該詞。在賭桌上，capot 作為一個(gè)形容詞又為.打皮克牌時(shí)未贏一圈的.。 盡管這樣可能會(huì)令玩皮克牌的人晦氣，旁觀并議論牌局的人也許會(huì)吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)該詞在德語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)中的引申義是多么廣泛。該詞于895年首次記載在德語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)中。例如，車主的車可能會(huì)損壞，車主也可能失敗。至于法語(yǔ)capot 一詞的詞源， 我們不甚了解，但似乎可以追溯到現(xiàn)代普羅旺斯語(yǔ)，其中的第一個(gè)成分cap 表示.頭.的意思
