gazette/ɡəˈzet/
n. (英)公报;报纸
"newspaper," c. 1600, from French gazette (16c.), from Italian gazzetta, Venetian dialectal gazeta "newspaper," also the name of a *** all copper coin, literally "little magpie," from gazza;
16世纪时,意大利 *** 市 *** 首次发行了一份官方报刊,每月出版一次。当时用一枚叫做gazeta的 *** 小铜币(见下图)即可购买一份这种报刊,因此 *** 将其称为gazzetta。
Obverse:Lion of St. Mark, paw perched on book, striding left in beaded circle.
Reverse:Justitia seated with sword and scales
该词进入法语后写作gazette。法国发行的第一份报纸就叫做Gazette de France《法国报》。后来,英语也吸取了该词,并保留其法语拼写方式,用来表示“公报”、“时事报”。许多早期的官方报刊都使用gazette这种名称,现在依然主要应用于报刊名称中。
例句:
November 7, 1665, the London Gazette, the oldest surviving journal, is first published.
1665年的11月7日,现存最古老的一份期刊—《伦敦公报》首次出版发行。
The first-round results were not published in the official gazette, as the law requires.
按照法律要求,官方公报不会刊载第一轮选举的结果。
