【摘要】 “长物”一词，通常以为《世说新语》首见，实则魏晋中古译经中即已多见。“长”表多、多余义，先秦典籍已见。中古译经则应用更加广泛，并由此衍生出“盈(赢)长”“余长”等并列双音词，以及“长衣”“长钵”“长食”“长财”“长利”等偏正式词语，进而影响中土文人，产生了《世说》“长物”、《诗品》“长语”等用法。这是语言接触视角下汉语词汇发展的一个实例，藉此可略窥早期译经与中土文人作品语言的互相影响。更多还原

【Abstract】 The term zhangwu(长物) is often believed to have first appeared in Shishuo xinyu(世说新语). But it had already appeared frequently in earlier Chinese Buddhist texts since the Wei dynasty. The word zhang(长) meaning “excessive, surplus” can be found in pre-Qin classics and became more frequently used in Chinese Buddhist texts. Many disyllabic words with zhang then emerged in coordinate structures such as yingzhang(盈/赢长, “abundant surplus”) and yuzhang(余长, “residual surplus”), or in modifier-head structure such as zhangyi(长衣, “excessive clothing”) and zhangcai(长财, “excessive wealth”). These words, in return,influenced later Chinese literature, giving rise to expressions such as the zhangwu(长 物, “excessive possessions”) in Shishuo xinyu and the zhangyu(长语, “excessive words”) in Shipin(诗品) .This is an example of contact-induced development of Chinese vocabulary, which implies the mutual influence between early Chinese Buddhist texts and later non-Buddhist Chinese literature.更多还原
