adventurous(adj.)
14世纪中期,“危险的”; 14世纪后期,“偶然发生的”(现在已过时),来自古法语 aventuros “机会,偶然的,偶然的”; 对于人来说,“热衷于冒险”(现代法语 aventureux),来自 aventure(参见 adventure(n.))。在英语中,“鲁莽,冒险”的意义始于大约1400年,因此“大胆,热衷于冒险”(15世纪中期)。相关: Adventurously; adventurousness。
The adventurous man incurs risks from love of the novel, the arduous, and the bold, trusting to escape through the use of his bodily and mental powers; he would measure himself against difficult things. When this spirit does not go so far as to deserve the name of rashness or foolhardiness, it is considered a manly trait. [Century Dictionary]
adventurous 的人因热爱新奇、艰苦和大胆而承担风险,相信通过运用身体和精神力量来逃脱; 他会衡量自己的难度。当这种精神不至于值得被称为 rashness 或 foolhardiness 时,被认为是一种男子气概。[世纪词典]
