announce的注释：

13. The injunction not to shoot the messenger could as well be not to shoot the announcer, given the etymology of the word announce. First recorded in English before 1500 in the sense “to proclaim, make known,” announce came into English via Old French from Latin. The Latin source ann^?nti3re is made up of the directional prefix ad- and the verb n^?nti3re, “to bring word of a fact or occurrence.” This verb is in turn derived from the noun n^?ntium, “a message,” which also yielded n^?ntius, “a messenger.”
不准枪毙使者的禁令也意味着不准枪毙公告人，给出了announce 这个词的词源。 1500年之前该词以“宣布，告知”的意思第一次出现在英语里，announce 通过拉丁语中的古法语进入英语。 拉丁词annuntiare 由指示性前缀 ad- 和动词 nuntiare “提到一个事实或事件”组成。 这个动词依次由名词nuntium “消息”派生而来， 也可作nuntius 的意思是“使者，送信人”
