  Doodle有两种含义,一种是“涂鸦;漫不经心地画画”,另一种是“闲荡,打发时间”。


  Doodle最早出现于17世纪初期,表示“傻瓜,笨蛋”。这个意思应该起源于Low German(低地德语,德意志北部和西部使用的德语)里的dudeltopf(愚人,睡帽)。到了19世纪初,doodle有了动词用法,表示“欺骗,诈骗,把某人当傻瓜”。


  到了上世纪30年代,doodle才有了现代意义“涂鸦”和“打发时间”,可能这两件事都有和doodle的本义“傻瓜”有关:当你若有所思、心不在焉时,在纸上乱涂乱画的作品多半是没什么意义的图像;当你闲得无所事事,整天在大街上晃荡,肯定也没人说你是个大智人。


  还有一种可能就是,doodle的现代意义和dawdle 1有一定关联,后者从17世纪开始就表示“游手好闲,浪费时间,混日子”。例如:dawdle the hours away(一小时一小时地浪费掉);dawdle away one's time(混日子)。



vi.浪费时间;闲荡
  • Don't dawdle over your clothing.You're so beautiful already.不要再在衣着上花费时间了,你已经够漂亮的了。
  • The teacher told the students not to dawdle away their time.老师告诉学生们别混日子。
