<注釋>More than one reader has no doubt wondered exactly howgood-bye is derived from the phrase .God be with you.. To understand this, it is helpful to see earlier forms of the expression,such asGod be wy you, b`w`y, godbwye, god buy` ye, and good-b`wy. It is no mistake to think that the first word of the expression is nowgood and not God, forgood replaced God by analogy with such expressions as good day, perhaps after people no longer had a clear idea of the original sense of the expression.A letter of 573 written by Gabriel Harvey contains the first recorded use ofgood-bye : .To requite your gallonde [gallon] ofgodbwyes, I regive you a pottle of howdyes,. recalling another contraction that is still used.
很多讀者毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)想確切知道good-bye 是怎樣從詞組.God be with you.轉(zhuǎn)變過(guò)來(lái)的。 應(yīng)看一下該詞組早期的表達(dá)方式，如God be wy you， b`w`y， godbwye， god buy`ye 和 good-b`wy 。 認(rèn)為該詞組的第一個(gè)單詞是現(xiàn)在的good 而非 God 是沒(méi)有錯(cuò)誤的， good 代替 God 可以從 good day 這樣的詞組中推斷出來(lái)， 這可能是因?yàn)槿藗儗?duì)該詞組的來(lái)龍去脈記得不太清楚了。在加布里埃爾·哈維573年寫(xiě)的一封信中就有使用good-bye 的第一次記載： .為回贈(zèng)您千千個(gè)再會(huì)， 我致以萬(wàn)萬(wàn)個(gè)問(wèn)候。. 出現(xiàn)了現(xiàn)在仍在使用的另一個(gè)縮略語(yǔ)
