lucubration(n.)
1590年代,“密切的研究或思考”; 1610年代,“这种研究或思考的产物,显示过度精心制作的文学作品”,源自拉丁语 lucubrationem (主格 lucubratio )“夜间研究,夜间工作”,动作名词,来自 lucubrare 的过去分词词干,字面意思是“用人工光工作”,来自 lucere 的词干“发光”,来自 PIE 词根 *leuk- “光,亮度”的带后缀(迭加)形式。相关词汇: Lucubrations 。
The current story in antiquity was that Aeschylus had been killed near Gela in Sicily by a tortoise dropt on his head by an eagle, which mistook the bald shiny pate of the venerable poet for a stone, and hoped to smash the tortoise on it. See Biographi Graeci, ed. Westermann, p. 120 ; Aelian Nat. Anim. vii. 16 ; Suidas, s.v. Αίσχύλοσ ; Valerius Maximus, ix. 12. Ext. 2. This important topic has produced the usual crop of learned dissertations. The late Professor F. G. Welcker gravely discussed it by the help of ornithological information derived from Aesop's fables, notes of travel made by the professor himself on the supposed scene of the catastrophe, and statistics as to the number of bald-headed men in antiquity. The interesting inquiry has since been prosecuted by other scholars with equal judgment and learning. The reader who desires to peruse these ponderous lucubrations should consult Rheinisches Museum, N.F. 7 (1850), pp. 139-144, 285 sq ; id., 9 (1854), pp. 148-155, 160* ; id., 37 (1882), pp. 308-312 ; Fleckeisen's Jahrbücher, 26 (1880), pp. 22-24 ; Welcker, Antike Denkmäler, 2. pp. 337-346.

在古代流传着这样一种故事: 伊士替克勒斯(Aeschylus)在西西里的盖拉(Gela)附近被乌龟落在了头上,因为信错了这位庄重的诗人秃顶发光的头,以为是石头,并试图摔碎乌龟。详见 Biographi Graeci,韦斯特曼(Westermann)版,第120页; 艾利安(Aelian) Nat. Anim. vii. 16; 苏伊达斯(Suidas) s.v. Αίσχύλοσ; 瓦莱里乌斯·马克西穆斯(Valerius Maximus),ix. 12. Ext. 2。这个重要的话题产生了一堆学术论文。已故的 F·G·韦尔克教授利用伊索寓言中的鸟类学信息,教授自己在所谓的灾难现场所做的旅行笔记以及古代秃顶男人数量的统计数据,认真地进行了探讨。随后,其他学者以同等的判断力和学识继续探讨这个有趣的问题。想要阅读这些饱含深思熟虑的著作的读者,应该参考 Rheinisches Museum,N.F. 7(1850年),第139-144、285页, sq ; id.,9(1854年),第148-155、160*页; id.,37(1882年),第308-312页; Fleckeisen's Jahrbücher,26(1880年),第22-24页; 韦尔克(Welcker), Antike Denkmäler,2.第337-346页。 [J.G. Frazer, Pausanias's "Description of Greece" 的注释,1898年]
