註釋
One might be surprised to learn that the word jungle is not African in origin nor does it come from a word that only meant 「land densely overgrown with tropical vegetation and trees.」 Jungle goes back to the Sanskrit word jao, meaning 「desert, wasteland,」 and also 「any kind of uncultivated area, such as heavily forested land.」 The Sanskrit word jao- passed into various Indian languages and from one or more of these languages into English. In English jungle was used for land overgrown with vegetation, for the vegetation itself, and for such land outside India. The word was also extended figuratively in various ways. We have, for example, asphalt jungles, concrete jungles, blackboard jungles, academic jungles, corporate jungles, and, in a February 1972 issue of the Guardian, the government official who 「lit up some lurid corners of the taxation jungle.」
jungle 一詞的詞源不是非洲語，也不是來自僅僅意為「長滿茂密的熱帶植物和樹木的地帶」的單詞；知道這一點也許會讓人吃驚。 Jungle 可追溯到梵語詞 jangalam， ， 其意為「荒漠，荒原」，也指「任何未開墾的地域，如茂密的森林」。 梵語詞jangala- 傳入多種印度語中， 又從這其中的一種或多種語言再傳入英語。在英語中jungle 用來指長滿植物的地帶， 指植物本身，也指印度以外的類似地帶。該詞也在多方面引申為比喻意義。例如，我們有柏油叢林、水泥叢林、黑板叢林、學術叢林、公司叢林，此外在1972年2月發行的一期衛報 上， 還出現了「揭露稅收叢林中鮮為人知的齷齪勾當」的政府官員
