n.（名詞）
<注釋>It would seem that in the case of the wordlandscape we have an example of nature imitating art, in so far as sense development is concerned.Landscape, first recorded in 598, was borrowed as a painters` term from Dutch during the 'th century,when Dutch artists were on the verge of becoming masters of the landscape genre.The Dutch wordlandschap had earlier meant simply .region, tract of land,. but had acquired the artistic sense, which it brought over into English, of .a picture depicting scenery on land..The fascinating thing isthat 34 years pass after the first recorded use oflandscape in English before the word is used of a view or vista of natural scenery. This delay suggests that people were first introduced to landscapes in paintingsand then saw landscapes in real life.
從landscape 這個詞，我們似乎能看到一個模仿自然藝術的例子， 單就這個詞的意思發展來說。Landscape 首次記載於598年， 它是在'世紀期間作為一個繪畫術語從荷蘭傳過來的，當時的荷蘭藝術家正在成為自然風景繪畫的大師。荷蘭語中landscape 這個詞早期僅僅意味著.地區，一片地.， 但它後來傳入英國時已經有了藝術上的含義.描繪陸上風景的繪畫.。有趣的是，從landscape 這個詞第一次見於英文文字到這個詞表示自然景色的風光，經歷了34年。 這一時間上的延遲暗示了人們首先是在繪畫時接觸自然，然後才是在現實生活中去欣賞風景
