<注釋>The chaperon at a high-school dance seems to have little relationship to what was first signified by the English wordchaperon, .a hood for a hawk,. and not even that much to what the word later meant, .a protectress of a young single woman..The sense .hood for a hawk,. recorded in a Middle English text composed before 400,reflects the original meaning of the Old French wordchaperon, .hood, headgear.. In order to understand why ourchaperon came to have the sense .protectress,. we need to know that in French the verbchaperonner, meaning .to cover with a hood,. was derived from chaperon and that this verb subsequently developed the figurative sense .to protect..Under the influence of the verb sensethe French nounchaperon came to mean .escort,. a meaning that was borrowed into English,being found first in a work published in 720.In its earlier useEnglishchaperon referred to a person, commonly an older woman, who accompanied a young unmarried woman in public to protect her. The English verbchaperon, .to be a chaperon,. is first recorded in Jane Austen`sSense and Sensibility, begun in 79' as a sketch called .Elinor and Marianne.and published as a novel in 8.
中學舞會上的年長監護者似乎與英文詞chaperon 的最初含義關係極微，（當時其意為.鷹的羽冠.）， 與後來該詞的意思.年輕單身女子的伴護人.，關係也不甚大。.鷹的羽冠.的意思，最初見於作於400年以前的一個中古英文文本，反映了這個古法文詞chaperon 的最初的.羽冠.的含義。 為了理解為什么我們所用的chaperon 一詞具有了.女伴護人.的意思， 我們需要知道法文中表示.覆以羽冠.意思的動詞chaperonner 是從 chaperon 派生出來的， 這個詞後來逐漸發展具有了.保護.的意思。受動詞意義的影響，法文名詞chaperon 也有了.伴護.的含義， 英文借用了這個含義，首見於720年發表的一部作品。在早期用法上，英文詞chaperon 是指一個在社交場合陪伴並保護一名未成婚少女的人，尤指年長婦女。 英文動詞chaperon .做伴護人.， 最初見於簡·奧斯丁的理智與情感 ， 此作品開始是79'年動筆的一部名為.艾利諾和馬利恩.的文學速寫，8年作為一部小說出版
