    babble 含混不清的说话

    拟声词。

    babble (v.)
    mid-13c., babeln "to prattle, chatter," akin to other Western European words for stammering and prattling (cognates: Swedish babbla, Old French babillier) attested from the same era, some of which probably were borrowed from others, but etymologists cannot now determine which were original. Probably imitative of baby-talk, in any case (compare Latin babulus "babbler," Greek barbaros "non-Greek-speaking"). "No direct connexion with Babel can be traced; though association with that may have affected the senses" [OED]. Meaning "to repeat oneself incoherently, speak foolishly" is attested from c. 1400. Related: Babbled; babbler; babbling; babblement.
    babble (n.)
    "idle talk," c. 1500, from babble (v.). In 16c., commonly in reduplicated form bibble-babble.

    记忆方法

    1. 区别:bubble, babble.
    2. babble 是由拟声词根*ba-(模拟小孩咿哑学语言的声音)演变而来,由此两个词就区分开了。
    3. bubble 也应该是拟声词,由*bo-(对应汉语为:啵,啵;就是模拟吹气泡发出的声音)拟声词根演变而来,然后元音降级(-o- => -u-)而得。
    4. Babble:可能来自Babel,圣经中的巴别塔,一座人类建造通往天庭的塔,上帝为阻止人类的企图而混杂了人类的语言,使人类无法合作。所以引申为声音、语言的嘈杂。而babble(说傻话,牙牙学语)也是语言上的混乱不清。联想:从巴别塔Babel上下来的人都说傻话babble。----说蠢话,牙牙学语。
