"Score" 是与“share”有关, 来源于古挪威语“skor”意为符木或者割符,即在一根木棒上刻数字或字符号,用于计数。通常人们数20为一个单位,每数到第20个的符木就会比其他的大些,所以“score”也就表示20。另外,dozen是代表12,不是13。
a (three) score of people
二十(六十)人
score (n.)late Old English scoru "twenty," from Old Norse skor "mark, tally," also, in Icelandic, "twenty," from Proto-Germanic *skura-, from PIE root *(s)ker- "to cut" (cf. Old English sceran; see shear).
The connecting notion is perhaps counting large numbers (of sheep, etc.)
with a notch in a stick for each 20. This counting notion is the origin
of the modern sense in sports (1742, originally in whist). In Old
French, "twenty" (vint) or a multiple of it could be used as a base, e.g. vint et doze ("32"), dous vinz et diz
("50"). Meaning "printed piece of music" first recorded 1701, from the
practice of connecting related staves by scores of lines.
