用法

Transpire has been used since the mid-18th century in the sense “l(fā)eak out, become publicly known,” as in Despite efforts to hush the matter up, it soon transpired that the colonels had met with the rebel leaders. This usage was objected to as a Gallicism when it was first introduced but has long been standard. The more common use of transpire to mean “occur” or “happen” has had a more troubled history. Though it dates at least to the beginning of the 19th century, it has been the object of critical opprobrium for more than a hundred years, charged with being both pretentious and unetymological. There is some sign that resistance to this sense of transpire is abating, however. In a 1969 survey the usage was acceptable only to 38 percent of the Usage Panel; in the most recent survey it was acceptable to 58 percent in the sentence All of these events transpired after last week's announcement (though many of the Panelists who accepted the usage also remarked that it was pretentious or pompous).

Transpire 這個詞從18世紀中葉開始一直有“泄漏，為公眾所知”的意思， 如盡管竭力掩蓋事實真相，但人們很快就得知軍官們已經與反叛者的領導人會晤。 當這種用法一開始出現(xiàn)時，有人把它當作法國式用法而提出異議，但現(xiàn)在它早已成為標準用法。Transpire 更為普通的用法是“發(fā)生”或“碰巧發(fā)生”的意思， 這個用法的歷史更為復雜。盡管這種用法至少可以追溯到19世紀初期，但一百多年以來它一直遭到批評反對，人們認為這個用法不僅矯飾而且在詞源上毫無根據(jù)。但是有跡象表明，對transpire 的這個詞義的異議正在消失。 在一次1969年進行的調查中，用法委員會成員中只有38%的人接受這種用法。在最近進行的一次調查中，有58%的人認為象在所有這些事件都發(fā)生在上個星期的宣告之后 這樣的句子中，這個詞的用法是可以接受的 （許多接受這種用法的使用者也指出這種用法很矯柔造作）
