這年頭，大家都搞創(chuàng)新。用了幾百年的詞句，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)時(shí)代演變后可能連老祖宗都不認(rèn)識(shí)了。這種情況，所有語言都會(huì)遇到。今天，我們就來說一個(gè)英文中舊詞新用的例子。還好，這個(gè)并沒有偏離原意太遠(yuǎn)。

　　Hat tip is (often abbreviated to "HT" or "h/t" in online contexts) used as an acknowledgement that someone has brought a piece of information to the writer’s attention, or provided the inspiration for a piece of writing.

　　Hat tip在網(wǎng)絡(luò)語境中表示“致敬，感謝”，縮寫為HT或h/t，感謝某人讓作者注意到某些信息或者激發(fā)了作者創(chuàng)作某個(gè)作品的靈感。

　　Originally, a hat tip is an act of tipping or doffing one's hat as a cultural expression of recognition, respect, gratitude, greeting, or simple salutation and acknowledgement between two persons.

　　Hat tip最初指兩個(gè)人見面時(shí)通過摘帽的動(dòng)作來表示對(duì)彼此的認(rèn)可、尊重、感激、問候，或是簡(jiǎn)單的致敬和感謝。

　　For example:

　　HT to Chris Johnson, who alerted me to the story.

　　向克里斯?約翰遜致敬，是他啟發(fā)了我這個(gè)故事。
