from nappen [to doze]
源自 nappen [打盹]
from Old English hnappian
源自 古英语 hnappian

<注释>The famous verse 4 in Psalm 2,rendered in the King James Version as .Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep,.is rendered in a Middle English translation as .Loo, ha shal not nappen ne slepen that kepeth ireal..The wordnappen is indeed the Middle English ancestor of our wordnap. Lest it be thought undignified to say that God could nap,it must be realized that our wordnap was at one time not associated only with the younger and older members of society nor simply with short periods of rest.The ancestors of our word,Old Englishhnappian and its descendant, Middle Englishnappen, could both refer to prolonged periods of sleep as well as short ones and also, as in the quotation from Psalm 2, to sleepiness.But these senses have been lost.Since the word has become less dignified,we would not findnap used in a translation of Psalm 2 any longer.
圣经诗篇2中著名的第四节，在钦定圣经译本中记为.看吧，他，守卫以色列的人既不能熟睡也不能打盹，.在中世纪英语中被译为.Loo , ha shal not nappen ne slepen that kepeth ireal.。单词nappen 在中世纪英语中就存在， 是单词nap 的前身。 避免人们不尊敬地认为上帝也能打盹，我们必须认识到单词nap 某些时候不只是与社会中的年轻人和老年人相关， 当然它也不仅指短暂的休息。这个单词的前身，古英语中hnappian 及后来它的衍生词， 中世纪英语中的nappen 都能表示延长时间的睡眠及短暂的睡眠， 如同圣经诗篇2中的引语，表示小睡。但这些意思都已经失传了。因为这个单词逐渐变得不再神圣，我们已无法再找到nap 用于圣经诗篇2的翻译中的意思了
