<注释>In the first and second editions ofThe American Heritage Dictionary Usage Notes explained why the spelling gauntlet is acceptable for bothgauntlet and gauntlet 2. Such has not always been the case.The story ofgauntlet , as into throw down the gauntlet, is unexciting: it comes from the Old French wordgantelet, a diminutive of gant, .glove.. From the time of its appearance in Middle English (in a work composed in 449),the word has been spelled with anau as well as an a, still a possible spelling. But the othergauntlet, as into run the gauntlet, is an alteration of the earlier English formgantlope, which came from the Swedish wordgatlopp, a compound ofgata, .lane,. and lopp, .course.. The earliest recorded form of the English word,found in '4',isgantelope, showing that alteration of the Swedish word had already occurred. The English word was then influenced by the spelling of the wordgauntlet, .glove,. and in '7' we find the first recorded instance of the spellinggauntlet for this word, althoughgantelope is found as late as 83'. From then on spellings withau and a are both found. Theau seems to have won out, although one could say that thea is preferable because it reflects the Swedish source.In regard to a word that has been so altered in form,this seems a rather fine point.
在第一和第二版的美国经典辞书 的用法说明解释了为什么拼写 gauntlet 是可接受的， 既对于gauntlet ，又对于 gauntlet 2。 情况并不总是这样。gauntlet 的故事， 如在拒绝挑战 中并不令人激动： 它来自于一法语老词gantelet ， gant 的小词缀.手套.。 自从它在中古英语出现之后（在449年编的一著作中），这个词同au 的拼写已同 a 一样仍是可能的拼写形式。 但是另一个gauntlet ， 如在接受挑战 中， 是早期英语形式gantlope 的一个变体， 其来自于一瑞典词gatlopp ， gata .巷子.和 lopp .方向.的组合。 最早的这个英语单词的记录，出现于'4'年，是gantelope ，表示这个瑞典单词的变体已出现。 这个英语单词然后被单词gauntlet .手套.的拼写所影响， 在'7'年，我们发现了gauntlet 第一个有记录的例子， 尽管gantelope 直到83'年才发现。 此后，带有au 和 a 的拼写形式都被发现过。 au 似乎占优势， 尽管一个人可能说a 更好， 因它反映了瑞典语源。说到一个形式已发生了如此变化的单词，这似乎是个好建议
