英文词源

dolphin: dolphin: [13] The ultimate source of dolphin is Greek delphís ‘dolphin’, which some have linked with Greek delphýs ‘womb’. From it was derived delphīnion, a name given to the plant larkspur on account of the dolphin-like shape of part of its flower, acquired by English via Latin as delphinium [17]. Latin took over Greek delphís as delphīnus, which passed into English along two channels.

The classical form was borrowed as delfyn or delphin, which did not survive the 17th century. But the Vulgar Latin form *dalphīnus progressed to Old French daulphin (ultimate source of English dauphin), which English acquired as dalphyn. Dolphin, first recorded in the 14th century, appears to be an English alteration of the form da(u)lphin.
=> dauphin, delphinium
dolphin (n.): mid-14c., from Old French daulphin, from Medieval Latin dolfinus, from Latin delphinus "dolphin," from Greek delphis (genitive delphinos) "dolphin," related to delphys "womb," perhaps via notion of the animal bearing live young, or from its shape, from PIE *gwelbh-. Popularly applied to the dorado from late 16c.

考试真题

What he tried to do was to teach a male dolphin called Bass and a female called Doris to communicate with each other across a solid barrier.

To find out if the female dolphin is cleverer than the male one

Only one dolphin was able to see the light.

The male dolphin received more rewards

One of the most interesting experiments with dolphins must be one done by Doctor Jarvis Bastian.

Well, first of all, he kept the two dolphins together in the same tank and taught them to press levers whenever they saw a light

If the light flashed on and off several times, the dolphins were supposed to press the left-hand lever followed by the right-hand one.

If the light was kept steady, the dolphins were supposed to press the levers in reverse order

In the second stage, Doctor Bastian separated the dolphins into two tanks.

But in order to get their fish, both dolphins had to press the levers in the correct order

Well, amazingly enough, the dolphins achieved a 100 % success rate.

What were the dolphins supposed to do when they saw a steady light

To test how responsive dolphins are to various signals.

To see if dolphins can learn to communicate with each other

To examine how long it takes dolphins to acquire a skill.

Both dolphins were put in the same tank
