Did You Know?
If you took French in school, you might remember that liaison is the word for the phenomenon that causes a silent consonant at the end of one word to sound like it begins the next word when that word begins with a vowel, so that a phrase like beaux arts sounds like boh zahr. We can thank French for the origin of the term, as well. Liaison comes from Middle French lier, meaning "to bind or tie." Other English senses of liaison apply it to all kinds of bonds—from people who work to connect different groups to the kind of relationship sometimes entered into by two people who are attracted to one another.
如果你在学校学过法语，你可能会记得 liaison 是一个辅音无声的结尾的词，当该单词以元音开头时听起来像下一个单词的开头，这个短语 beaux arts 听起来像boh zahr。 我们也要感谢法语的这个起源。 Liaison 来自中古法语 lier，意思是“to bind or tie【捆绑】”。 Liaison在other English senses中用于各种联系——从连接不同群体的人到两个相互吸引的人建立的关系。
