Question

懂德语的进!着急!
This might account for Ismene's archaic-sounding remark:"You color for me,it seems,a red word."["Du fa(上面还有两点,我打不出来）mir,scheint's,ein rotes Wort"],which,through the Sophoclean use of the verb Kalkhainein,is etymologically linked to the hunt for the purple fish(sepia).Du fa(上面还有两点,我打不出来）mir,scheint's,ein rotes Wort 的意思是“你重复了那些显而易见的事实.the hunt for the purple fish(sepia).的引申意思是”做深入思考”.这一段里面,说通过索福克勒斯式地使用动词Kalkhainein,在词源上把它和捕棕色的鱼
（sepia)联系了起来,这是怎么联系起来的?

Answer 1

Kalkhainein是个希腊语词,意思是 make purple
也许他想说德语动词 färben 跟 purple（希腊语为 porphura) 有语源联系,此外我看不出其他的有什么联系
还有,前一句话的意思我看是:You color,it seems to me,a red word.
