註釋
The word immaterial, meaning 「of no importance or relevance,」 has made its way in the world in spite of the opposition of no less a figure than Samuel Johnson. Johnson stated that 「this sense has crept into the conversation and writings of barbarians; but ought to be utterly rejected.」 More than two centuries later it is difficult for us to recover Johnson's strength of feeling, and this tale might in fact serve as a warning to those who believe that the usages they abominate will not survive and become standard. Although Johnson was a man of immense learning, he did not have the lexicographical resources available today. If Johnson had had access to the Oxford Latin Dictionary and the Middle English Dictionary, among other works, he would have seen that from m3, meaning 「a mother,」 「a plant as the source of things such as cuttings or fruit,」 and 「a source,」 was derived the word m3, meaning 「wood as a building material,」 「any substance of which a physical object is made,」 「the subject matter of a speech or book,」 and 「the condition whereby an action is effected.」 The adjective m33lis} derived from m3a only meant 「of or concerned with subject matter」 in Classical Latin, but its descendant in Late and Medieval Latin and its descendants in Old French (materiel ) and Middle English ( material ) developed other meanings, such as 「consisting of matter.」 One Middle English sense, 「important, relevant,」 that probably harks back to senses of Classical Latin m3a such as 「subject matter」 continued in existence after Middle English times. So it was natural for the English word immaterial, first recorded in the 15th century, to come to mean 「not important,」 in spite of Johnson's wrath.
儘管不只塞繆爾·約翰遜一個人反對意思為「不重要的，無關緊要的」，immaterial 這個詞還是產生了。 約翰遜聲明：「這個意思偷偷出現在野蠻民族的對話和寫作中；但應該遭到完全抵制。」兩個多世紀之後，我們很難重新找到約翰遜強烈的感受。這個故事實際上可以算是對那些認為他們厭惡的用法不可能生存和標準化的人的一種警告。儘管約翰遜是一個博學的人，但是他沒有今天可以得到的詞彙學的資料。如果約翰遜除了其他著作外能得到牛津拉丁語詞典 和 中古英語詞典 的話， 他就能從中認識到這一點：mater ， 意思為「母親」，「作為諸如剪下的東西或水果來源的一株植物」和「來源」，是由materia ， 意思為「建築用的木材」，「用於製造物體的任何材料」，「講話或著作的主題」和「影響一個行動的條件」而衍變而來的。形容詞materalis 是由在古典拉丁語中僅僅意味著「和主題有關的」 materia 衍變而來的， 但它在中古拉丁語和後期拉丁語中的衍生詞和古法語中的衍生詞(materiel )以及中古英語中的衍生詞( material )繼續發展有了其他的意思， 如「由物質組成的」。中古英語的一個意思「重要的、有關的」，很可能追溯到古典拉丁語materia 的意思如「主題」在中古英語時期之後繼續存在。 因此，最早在15世紀被記錄下來的英語單詞immaterial 至今仍有「不重要的」的意思是很自然的， 儘管約翰遜對此很憤怒
