词源词根法
词源不详,可能来自加勒比某土著语言xok,由16世纪英国海军将军Sir John Hawkins引入英语,并引申比喻义诈骗者,骗子。也有观点认为该词本来词义就是诈骗者,骗子,后用于指这种凶猛的鱼。在16世纪之前,英国水手们将鲨鱼称为“sea dog”,因为它们会像狗一样咬人。直到现在,英语中依然使用dogfish来称呼很多种小型鲨鱼。16世纪50年代,英国著名的航海探险家、商人及海盗约翰?霍金斯(John Hawkins)在一次前往新大陆的远航中,在加勒比海域捕获了一条巨大的鲨鱼,将其制成标本带回了英国伦敦并展出。在对外介绍这条鲨鱼时,霍金斯的水手们将其称为sharke,该词很有可能来自美洲土著人对鲨鱼的称呼。现代英语单词shark就来源于此。=shark[?ɑ?k]n鲨鱼,骗子v敲诈,诈骗

小知识
A shark is a large, carnivorous fish — although it's hard to calmly think, “That's just a large fish” when you run into a shark while you're swimming in the ocean.
Almost all sharks live in the ocean, and while most of them are predators, the very largest sharks feed on plankton and tiny things like fish eggs. There are over four hundred species of shark, but only four have ever harmed humans; nevertheless, people have been afraid of these large, powerful animals for a long time. This dislike gave rise to the informal meaning of shark, “a person who swindles or preys on others.”
