我又向牛津英语辞典提交了单词 Loong 2018年，我在牛津英语辞典（OED）的 Words where you are 页面提交了 loong 这个单词及其历史和使用情况，但是渺无音讯。今年我检索发现了大量 loong 的应用实例，于是再次向它提交 loong。 |
Which words are used where you are? Word or phrase * loong What does it mean? * Loong is the mythological creature in Chinese culture, it is called dragon mistakenly now. Loong is not a devil. Most Chinses people think it is the symbol of luck and power, and of China and its culture. They call themselves as the descendants of Loong. Loong is a transliteration according to its Chinese pronounciation. Where have you encountered it? * China, Oversea Chinese's names (Lee Siu Loong, Kungfu star Bruce Lee), brands, logos Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about this word and how it is used? I studied the word nearly fifteen years. The earlist record of loong I found can be traced back to the year of 1814, the book Elements of Chinese Grammar, written by English missionary Joshua Marshman. The useages of loong have not stopped from that time. In Google books, with the key word loong, many more applications can be found, such as: In the year of 1817: Boats, on reaching this place, usually offer up some sacrifice at the Loong-wang-Miao, or temple of the Dragon King: this was the first temple I had seen… 1846: The word Loong is applied as an epithet to most things pertaining to the emperor. Loong-wei, "the dragon-seat", is the imperial throne. 1863: Of the dragon, or loong, there are three, ...(Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country) 1882: The loong or dragon, as it is commonly translated, is to the Chinese nation all that the eagle is to us, and a great deal more. It is a mysterious, fabulous creature in many respects like the dragon of western fables, but far surpassing it. Not only supernatural, but almost divine qualities are attributed to it. ... 1955: a greatly ferocious loong, or, as foreigners would say, a dragon. 1961: Unlike the evil dragon of the West, the Chinese Dragon is a beneficent and gracious creature and is worshipped as the divine ruler of Lakes, Rivers and Seas. It is the powerful yet gentle "Loong" that brings rains to the earth, hastens the crops and cools the toiling farmers. 1971: The loong (Oriental dragon) symbolizes the spirit of change, moral excellence, and timely help to those in need. 2004: Unlike the Western monster, the Chinese 'loong' was not an evil creature malevolent to mankind, but the rain giver who gathered the clouds, brought the welcome moisture and presided over water. To the Chinese, probably borne out of superstition and belief, the name "Loong" which means dragon in Chinese, bears auspicious connotations and can bring the bearer of such a name to greater heights in his future. 2013: The Chinese dragon is called a "loong" and only has one head and no wings. Although it looks like a snake to some, it is actually comprised of nine different animals. 2017: "This is Loong; it means 'dragon'," Mrs Bai says. ----------- There are many persons and enterprises using the word loong representing the powerful and lucky mythological animal in their name or their products' brand in the precent days.

担心外国人不懂中国文化，我只选择了由英文单词组成的 loong 运用案例，使外国人能够看出商标的含义，而没有使用半音译的例子，例如：Gu Loong、rLoong 等。好在 loong 的运用实例非常多，即使只选了一部分，绝对数量也已经非常可观了。 我的英语不好，希望有精通英语的朋友也来提交 loong 这个词，我可以提供各种有关资料。 （黄佶，2021年11月26日） 相关链接： 我向牛津英语辞典提交了单词 Loong（2018年10月22日） 【补记】今天想向 collins 提交 loong，但是一直注册不成功。随后向 Webster 提交，但是提交后一直显示 sending...，不知道能不能传过去。（黄佶，2021年11月27日） |
