註釋
The word yes is a good example of how an ordinary and frequently used word can have a complex etymology. We can trace yes back to two Indo-European roots, .i-, a pronominal stem, and .es-, 「to be.」 From two extended forms of .i-, .y3m and .y3, came the prehistoric Common Germanic forms .j3} and jai, which gave us Old English ge3, an affirmative particle, the source of Modern English yea. The Indo-European root .es- is the source of our forms am and is. From the stem .so- used to make verb forms in the optative mood, a mood used to express a wish, came the Germanic form .sijai-, which gave us Old English so, 「may it be so.」 This form, unlike the sources of am and is, died out, but before disappearing it had combined with Old English g?a to form the compound g?, the ancestor of our word yes. This soe was destined to have even more of a triumph. Until around 1600 yea was used to respond to positive expressions, whereas yes was used to respond to negative expressions. After that time yes became a response to both positive and negative expressions, yea surviving primarily in voice votes.
yes 一詞是說明一個普通常用詞如何擁有一複雜詞源的極好例證。 我們可以追溯yes 到兩個印歐語詞根， 代名詞詞干i- 和 es- 「是」。 從i-的兩種擴展形式，yam 和 yai， 形成了史前普通日耳曼語形式ja 和 jai, 它們又帶來了古英語中的肯定虛詞gea ， 這便是現代英語yea 的來源。 而印歐語詞根es- 是我們 am 和 is 兩形式的源頭。 以is- ，一個用於製造祈願語氣動詞的詞干， 產生出日爾曼形式sijai-， 並由此形成了古英語sie, 「希望如此」。 這種形式不像am 和 is 的詞源，已經滅絕了， 但在消失之前，它已經和古英語gea 混合形成復合詞 gese， 即我們的單詞yes 的前身。 這個sie 注定要獲取更大的勝利。 直至1600年左右，yea 還被用於回答肯定的陳述； 而yes 則用於回答否定陳述。 此後，yes 既可作肯定也可否定表達的回答， yea 則主要在口頭投票時使用
