这恰好可以说明，要想摆脱拉丁语和希腊语的词根有多么困难。hyena同样是在诺曼征服之后进入到英语的。
Which just goes to show how hard it is to get away from Latin and Greek roots since hyena too arrived in English after the Norman invasion.
大约1220年它在书面英语中出现，它伴随着在诺尔曼征服中根植于拉丁文中的法语产生。
It turns up in written English circa 1220 so it came with the French of the Norman Conquest which was built on Latin.
它由古罗马人一手炮制。罗马人命令所有被征服的民众要嘛购买白垩的心形糖果，在糖果上包裹轻浮的拉丁习语，要嘛接受严厉的惩罚。
It was cooked up by the ancient Romans, who ordered all of the empire's conquered peoples to buy chalky heart-shaped candies covered with flirty Latin phrases or face the punishment of crucifixion.
