单词本：不许抄袭

也写成 plagiarise，就好像 analyze analyse 一样。但是我不知道 -se 和 -ze 有什么细微区别没有。

Pronunciation: ˈpleɪdʒərʌɪz

Take (the work or an idea of someone else) and pass it off as one’s own.

动词，剽窃，抄袭，作弊，拾人牙慧，拾人涕唾。

• Donald Trump's wife, Melania, took centre stage on the first day of the Republican National Convention but faced accusations that a portion of her speech plagiarised Michelle Obama.¹
• Did Melania Trump plagiarise Michelle Obama in her Republican Convention 2016 speech?²

In the 1st century, the use of the Latin word plagiarius (literally kidnapper) to denote stealing someone else's work was pioneered by the Roman poet Martial, who complained that another poet had "kidnapped his verses". "Plagiary", a derivative of "plagiarus" was introduced into English in 1601 by dramatist Ben Jonson to describe someone guilty of literary theft. ³

plagiarise 源自拉丁语 plagiarius，本意是绑架的意思。罗马诗人 Martial 抱怨他人绑架了他的诗歌。后来就被用来表示抄袭了。

plagiarism：抄袭行为

• Melania Trump found herself at the centre of a plagiarism row after it appeared she had lifted a section of a speech by Michelle Obama.²
• The Trump campaign has denied accusations of plagiarism.⁴
• Trump campaign chairman denies Melania plagiarism allegations.⁵

plagiaristic: 有抄袭行为的

• Did Bill Clinton tweak Biden's plagiaristic past? Number of pages into Bill Clinton's "Back to Work" where one finds a curious comment about Joe Biden.⁶ 克林顿在他的书中揭露了 Biden 的有抄袭行为的过去？原文是这么说的：“Vice President Biden – whose speeches provided much of the same information and made many of the same arguments mine did …”⁶

plagiarist: 抄袭者

• Donald Trump’s campaign chairman says Melania Trump is no plagiarist — she just shares “common” values with the first lady and other Americans.⁵

plagiary: 抄袭行为，应该和 plagiarism 一个意思，但是好像后者用的比较广泛。

• The sin of plagiary is a development of modern civilisation.

法语和英语同源，都来自拉丁语，只是略微有点变化：plagier

• La polémique enfle déjà. Montée sur scène lundi 18 juillet lors de la convention républicaine pour soutenir la candidature de son époux, Melania Trump est accusée d'avoir plagié des passages d'un discours de Michelle Obama, prononcée en 2008.⁷

德语新闻里用 plagiieren。不过我也看到有直接用 klauen Zitate/Rede（偷窃引文/演讲）的。

• Melania muss Obamas Rede von 2008 gemocht haben, wenn sie sie schon plagiiert.⁸
• Trumps Ehefrau klaut Rede von Michelle Obama.⁹
• Trumps Ehefrau Melania scheitert beim Parteitag der US-Republikaner daran, ihren Mann sympathischer wirken zu lassen. Alles dreht sich um geklaute Zitate von Michelle Obama.¹⁰
• Melania Trump in der Plagiatsfalle.

总之，大家都是从拉丁语抄袭来的，英国人抄袭成了 plagiarize，法国人抄袭成了plagier，德国人抄袭成了 plagiieren。抄袭的时候既保留了原词的样子，有添加了本国人的语言习惯。就像以前上课前抄同学的答案，抄的过程中纠正了错误的答案，结果比被抄袭的同学分数好一些。实在是有些无耻的。
