注释

A charlatan and chatter are inseparable, even perhaps in the etymology of charlatan. According to one explanation, charlatan goes back through French to Italian ciarlatano, “mountebank, fraud,” from the word ciarlare, “to chatter.” Another explanation would derive charlatan from the Italian word cerretano, “an inhabitant of Cerreto, a quack,” the village of Cerreto being noted for its charlatans. It seems, however, that both ciarlare and cerretano have been involved in the formation of the Italian word. The first example of the English word and of its earliest recorded sense, “huckster, especially of medicines, who gives his pitch to a crowd; mountebank,”is found in 1618. The sense familiar to us, “a person pretending to skill or knowledge,” is first recorded in 1809.

“冒充内行者”与“喋喋不休”是分不开的，甚至也许在charlatan 的词源上。 根据一种解释，charlatan 可以由法语追溯到意大利语的 ciarlatano， “江湖郎中，骗子”， 其来自ciarlare “喋喋不休”。 另一种解释是从意大利词cerretano 派生出 charlatan， “塞利托的居民，庸医，” 以其庸医闻名的塞利托村。但似乎ciarlare 与 cerretano 两个词都与这个意大利词的形成有关。 这个英语词第一个例子以及它最早记载的意义，“大吹大擂推销商品的人，尤指向人群推销药品的人；江湖医生，”见于1618年。对于我们熟悉的含义，“冒充在技能和知识上内行的人，”最早记载于1809年
