单词 oboe
释义

oboen.1

Brit. /ˈəʊbəʊ/, U.S. /ˈoʊboʊ/
Forms: 1700s oboi, 1700s oboy, 1700s– oboe, 1800s–1900s oboë.
Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian oboe.
Etymology: < Italian oboe (1696 as oboè ) < French hautbois hautboy n. Compare Spanish oboe (c1764), German Oboe (18th cent.). Compare hautboy n. and forms cited s.v.The form oboë , apparently representing a trisyllablic pronunciation after Italian oboè , is apparently not attested later than the early 20th cent. N.E.D. (1902) records the main pronunciation as /ˈəʊbɔɪ/, probably after hautboy n., and notes also the non-naturalized form /ˈoboe/. Pronunciations with /-bɔɪ/ are given as main forms by Stormonth (1884), Webster (1911), and in Funk & Wagnall's New Standard Dict. Eng. Lang. (1931). Early editions of D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. also give this form, but note that the current British pronunciation /ˈəʊbəʊ/ is ‘common among members of the musical profession’. During the early 20th cent., the modern pronunciation becomes established, and is given as the main form by Wyld (1932) and Webster (1934). From the mid 20th cent., all editions of D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. give the current British pronunciation as the main form, but from the mid to late 20th cent. /ˈəʊbɔɪ/ is still noted as an archaic variant.
