| 释义 | share Safire 1986 wonders about a new use of share with the meaning "tell, tell about." In this use you share your insights, thoughts, reflections, experience, etc. with someone else. Safire prints the comments of several correspondents who dislike the new use, calling it, among other things, cloying, condescending, and gushy. Such evidence as we have for the use associates it with some of our chief modern pieties—religion, education, and politics. One of Safire's correspondents suggests that its origin lies in pulpit English; the OED Supplement traces it back to the 1930s and the language of the religious movement known as Moral Rearmament, in which it referred to the open confession of sins. The comments of Safire's correspondents suggest that the new use is a sort of secularization of the religious sense. Here are a few examples from our files: • ... a panel discussion in which visitors from other institutions shared the benefits of their own, related experience —Calvin H. Plimpton, Amherst College Bulletin, November 1967 • ... we all met together... to share how the Happening had happened. Mostly we ended up sharing messages —Bud Church, Media & Methods, January 1970 • When he finished reading it aloud to us, someone told him, "I certainly am glad you shared with us. I'd like to really thank you for sharing." —Carol Bly, Letters from the Country, 1981 • ... was on the telephone ... apparently sharing with a client the insight that the Saudis were seeking to maximize their profits —Leslie H. Gelb, N. Y. Times Mag., 20 Apr. 1986 This use of share appears to occur more commonly in speech than in writing at the present time. |
