n.（名詞）
<注釋>.Don`t worry. is a much milder injunction than it once would have been,for the wordworry has softened its sense greatly over the course of its history. Its Old English ancestor,wyrgan, meant .to strangle.. Its Middle English descendant,worien, kept this sense and developed the new sense .to grasp by the throat with the teeth and lacerate. or .to kill or injure by biting and shaking.. This is the way wolves or dogs might attack sheep, for example.In the 'th centuryworry began to be used in the sense .to harass, as by rough treatment or attack,. or .to assault verbally,. and in the 7th century the word took on the sense .to bother, distress, or persecute..It was a small step from this sense to the main modern senses .to cause to feel anxious or distressed. and .to feel troubled or uneasy,. first recorded in the 9th century.
與過去相比，.別擔心.這句話的命令意味減少了許多，因為隨著歷史的變遷worry 這個詞的.攻擊性.意味大大削弱了。 其古英文中的前身wyrgan, 意為.扼殺.。 在中世紀英文中的worien 保留了這個意思並衍生出一個新意思.用牙齒咬住喉嚨並且撕裂.或.咬住並來回甩動以殺死或傷害.。 例如，這是狼或狗襲擊羊的方式。'世紀，worry 開始含有.以粗暴手段或襲擊方式來騷擾.，.口頭攻擊.的意思， 到了7世紀這個詞產生了.干擾、使焦慮和煩擾.的意思。9世紀，這個詞義向前發展了一點，產生了適用於當代的主要意思.使感到焦慮或痛苦.和.感到煩惱或不安.
