ice-cube(n.)
"冰块,用于冷饮等",1902年,来自 ice(n.)+ cube(n.)。
One of the newest plans for the economical use of artificial ice has recently been patented by Van der Weyde, of Holland. The invention is based on the fact that two smooth surfaces of freshly cut ice when brought into contact at a temperature below thirty-two degrees will unite firmly. At a higher temperature the junction yields to a blow, and the ice breaks into the original parts. Van der Weyde casts blocks of ice into small cubes, which are stamped with a trade mark. These cubes are joined into a larger cube of any desired weight and sent out for use. The mark is a guarantee that the ice is pure, and the small cubes, weighing an ounce each, are easily separated into a shape convenient for use. ["Artificial Ice in Cubes," Lawrence Chieftain (Mount Vernon, Missouri), June 21, 1894]
最新的人工冰经济利用计划最近由荷兰的范德韦德(Van der Weyde)获得了专利。该发明基于这样一个事实:当两个新鲜切割的冰的光滑表面在低于32度的温度下接触时,它们会牢固地结合在一起。在较高的温度下,接头会因一击而松动,冰块会分裂成原来的部分。范德韦德将冰块铸成小立方体,并加盖商标。这些小立方体可以组合成任意重量的大立方体并发货使用。商标是对冰纯度的保证,每个重一盎司的小立方体都可以方便地分离成适合使用的形状。["Artificial Ice in Cubes," Lawrence Chieftain (Mount Vernon, Missouri), June 21, 1894]

So numerous have been the discoveries of fossil footmarks in Europe within a few years past, and so many species occur in this country, that it will be at least convenient to have them designated by some appropriate scientific terms, and to arrange them in systematic order. I propose the term Ichnolite ... to include them all and to be the name of the Class. [Edward Hitchcock, LL.D., "Final Report on the Geology of Massachusetts," 1841]
近年来,欧洲发现了大量的化石足迹,而且在这个国家出现了许多物种,因此用一些适当的科学术语来指定它们,并按系统顺序排列,至少是方便的。我提出术语 Ichnolite......来包括它们所有,并成为这个类的名称。[爱德华·希奇科克(Edward Hitchcock),马萨诸塞州地质最终报告,1841年]
