词源：
O.E. belle, common North Sea Gmc. (cf. M.Du. belle, M.L.G. belle) but not found elsewhere in Gmc. (except as a borrowing), from PIE base *bhel- “to sound, roar.” Statistical bell curve was coined 1870s in French. Bell, book, and candle is a reference to a form of excommunication. To ring a bell “awaken a memory,” 1934, is perhaps a reference to Pavlovian experiments.

bell 钟
→来自PIE *bhel-(3), 发声，怒吼，拟声词。
