助記提示

1. 區別：bubble, babble.
2. babble 是由擬聲詞根*ba-(模擬小孩咿啞學語言的聲音)演變而來，由此兩個詞就區分開了。
3. bubble 也應該是擬聲詞，由*bo-(對應漢語為：啵，啵；就是模擬吹氣泡發出的聲音)擬聲詞根演變而來，然后元音降級（-o- => -u-）而得。
4. Babble：可能來自Babel，圣經中的巴別塔，一座人類建造通往天庭的塔，上帝為阻止人類的企圖而混雜了人類的語言，使人類無法合作。所以引申為聲音、語言的嘈雜。而babble（說傻話，牙牙學語）也是語言上的混亂不清。聯想：從巴別塔Babel上下來的人都說傻話babble。----說蠢話，牙牙學語。

英文詞源

babble (v.): mid-13c., babeln "to prattle, chatter," akin to other Western European words for stammering and prattling (cognates: Swedish babbla, Old French babillier) attested from the same era, some of which probably were borrowed from others, but etymologists cannot now determine which were original. Probably imitative of baby-talk, in any case (compare Latin babulus "babbler," Greek barbaros "non-Greek-speaking"). "No direct connexion with Babel can be traced; though association with that may have affected the senses" [OED]. Meaning "to repeat oneself incoherently, speak foolishly" is attested from c. 1400. Related: Babbled; babbler; babbling; babblement.
babble (n.): "idle talk," c. 1500, from babble (v.). In 16c., commonly in reduplicated form bibble-babble.
