<注释>In Philemon Holland`s '0 translation of Pliny`sNatural History, we are surprised by the use of the wordfizzle in the statement that if asses eat a certain plant,.they will fall a fizling and farting.. Fizzle was first used in English to mean,in the decorous parlance of theOxford English Dictionary, .to break wind without noise.. During the 9th centuryfizzle took on a related but more respectable sense, .to hiss, as does a piece of fireworks,.illustrated by a quotation from the November 7, 88, issue of theLondon Daily News: .unambitious rockets which fizzle doggedly downwards..In the same centuryfizzle also took on figurative senses, one of which seems to have been popular at Yale.TheYale Literary Magazine for 849 helpfully defines the word as follows: .Fizzle, to rise with modest reluctance, to hesitate often, to decline finally; generally, to misunderstand the question..The figurative sense offizzle that has caught on is the one with which we are most familiar today, .to fail or die out..
在腓利门荷兰'0年对普林尼的博物志 中， 我们对fizzle 一词的用法感到很惊讶， 它说如果驴吃了某种植物，.他们就会放屁。. Fizzle 首先在英语中指.无声地放屁，.是在牛津英语字典 的高雅用语中出现的。 在9世纪，fizzle 有了一个相关的但更文雅的含义， .发嘶嘶声，如同烟火那样，.这个词义是通过88年月7日的伦敦每日新闻 的引文说明的： .抱负不大的火箭，它们顽固地嘶嘶下坠。.同一世纪，fizzle 还赋与了比喻义， 其中的一个比喻义似乎在耶鲁大学很流行。849年的耶鲁文学杂志 给这个词下了一个有益的定义： .Fizzle， 不十分情愿地上升，常犹豫不决，最终放弃； 通常是弄错问题。.人们已接受的fizzle 的比喻义， 即今天我们最为熟悉的.失败或消失.
