| 释义 | certificated A correspondent whose letter is printed in Safire 1984 expresses dismay at the participial adjective certificated applied to a person who has been given a certificate. This correspondent is a bit late coming to the discovery of the term: • ... they enter the normal school where they remain two years as with us, and then become certificated teachers—Jour, of Education, vol. 18, 1883 Certificated does not appear to compete much with certified; its use is largely limited to education (in both British and American English) and air transportation. A few examples of use: • ... a certificated parachute technician —Charles A. Zweng, Parachute Technician, 1944 • ... the certificated airlines have carried more cargo —Air Transportation, December 1948 • Certificated teachers used the tawse to enforce discipline —Mary Paterson, Scots Mag., February 1956 • ... the steel-nosed Captain Morgan (pirate and certificated teacher) —Times Literary Supp., 30 Nov. 1967 • ... moved to England, where she studied ballet for • II years, actually becoming a certificated teacher — Vincent Canby, N.Y. Times, 11 Mar. 1973 Since certificated has been in use for at least a century (the verb certificate itself is attested as early as 1818 in British English), there is little point in complaining about it. It is the correct term in a small number of applications and can otherwise be ignored. |
