助記提示


1. 區別:creek, crook: creek <====> 河(漢語拼音:he),creek中間的字母e與河的拼音的韻母相同,由此與“河”聯系在一起,還有就是“河流”不是封閉的環狀,因此字母o不合適,而是像字母e一樣的九曲十八彎,然后流入大海、水最終會流出;crook => cr- "bent, hooked" + hook, 其中間的字母o像環狀的彎曲物或鉤狀物。

中文詞源


creek 小河,小溪

詞源同crook, 彎,轉,多指彎彎曲曲的小河,小溪。

英文詞源


creek
creek: [13] Now firmly associated with watercourse, the original connotations of creek seem to have been of ‘narrow and secluded bendiness’. It appears to have been borrowed from Old Norse kriki ‘nook’, which some have speculated may be related to Old Norse krōkr ‘hook’ (source of English crook). Creek remains strictly a word for narrow waterways, a reminder of its beginnings.
=> crook
creek (n.)
mid-15c., creke "narrow inlet in a coastline," altered from kryk (early 13c.; in place names from 12c.), probably from Old Norse kriki "corner, nook," perhaps influenced by Anglo-French crique, itself from a Scandinavian source via Norman. Perhaps ultimately related to crook and with an original notion of "full of bends and turns" (compare dialectal Swedish krik "corner, bend; creek, cove").

Extended to "inlet or short arm of a river" by 1570s, which probably led to use for "small stream, brook" in American English (1620s). Also used there and in Canada, Australia, New Zealand for "branch of a main river," possibly from explorers moving up main rivers and seeing and noting mouths of tributaries without knowing they often were extensive rivers of their own. Slang phrase up the creek "in trouble," often especially "pregnant," first recorded 1941, perhaps originally armed forces slang for "lost while on patrol."
Creek
Indian tribe or confederation, 1725, named for creek, the geographical feature, and abbreviated from Ochese Creek Indians, from the place in Georgia where English first encountered them. Native name is Muskogee, a word of uncertain origin.
