助記提示
1. 古希臘人很看不起外地人，說外地人講話是 *barbar-，這是一個擬聲詞根，模擬小孩咿呀學語時口齒不清的聲音、發音，由此表示“說話像孩子那樣口齒不清”，現在演化為 barbarous "未開化的"、barbarian "野蠻人，就像咱們稱呼未開化的外族人為：蠻人、夷人、胡人等"。漢語說“巴拉巴拉”時，也是一種擬聲、也是一種貶義，這時英語用 blah-blah，這與漢語的擬聲完全一樣。
2. from PIE root *barbar- echoic of unintelligible speech of foreigners.
3. Originally not entirely pejorative, its sense darkened after the Persian wars. The Romans (technically themselves barbaroi) took up the word and applied it to tribes or nations which had no Greek or Roman accomplishments.
4. barbar- + -ism.
