waterlogged 的詞源
waterlogged(adj.)
1759年(在“Universal Magazine”九月份的拉戈斯戰役的描述中),源自 water(名詞1)和 log(名詞1); 顯然的概念是“使其變得像木頭一樣”。參見 logged。
WATER LOGGED, the state of a ship when, by receiving a great quantity of water into her hold, by leaking, &c., she has become heavy and inactive upon the sea, so as to yield without resistance to the efforts of every wave rushing over her decks. As, in this dangerous situation, the center of gravity is no longer fixed, but fluctuating from place to place, the stability of the ship is utterly lost. She is therefore almost totally deprived of the use of her sails, which would operate to overset her, or press the head under water. Hence there is no resource for the crew, except to free her by the pumps, or to abandon her by the boats as soon as possible. [William Falconer, "An Universal Dictionary of the Marine," London, 1784]
水浸,指一艘船因爲艙內進水過多而變得沉重和遲緩,以至於每一波衝過甲板時都毫無抵抗力。在這種危險的情況下,重心不再固定,而是從一個地方到另一個地方波動,船的穩定性完全喪失。因此,她幾乎完全無法使用帆,因爲帆會使她翻倒或頭朝下沉入水中。因此,船員除了儘快用泵將其解救或放棄船隻,別無選擇。[威廉·法爾科納,《海事通用詞典》,倫敦,1784年]
動詞 waterlog(1779年)似乎是一種反構詞。
