助记提示
1. 区别：bubble, babble.
2. babble 是由拟声词根*ba-(模拟小孩咿哑学语言的声音)演变而来，由此两个词就区分开了。
3. bubble 也应该是拟声词，由*bo-(对应汉语为：啵，啵；就是模拟吹气泡发出的声音)拟声词根演变而来，然后元音降级（-o- => -u-）而得。

英文词源
- bubble
- bubble: [14] Several Germanic languages have words that sound like, and mean the same as, bubble – Swedish bubla, for instance, and Dutch bobbel – but all are relatively modern, and there is no evidence to link them to a common source. As likely as not, the whole family of bubble words represents ultimately an attempt to lexicalize the sound of bubbling, by blowing through nearly closed lips.
- bubble (n.)
- early 14c., perhaps from Middle Dutch bobbel (n.) and/or Middle Low German bubbeln (v.), all probably of echoic origin. Bubble bath first recorded 1949. Of financial schemes originally in South Sea Bubble (1590s), on notion of "fragile and insubstantial."
- bubble (v.)
- mid-15c., perhaps from bubble (n.) and/or from Middle Low German bubbeln (v.), probably of echoic origin. Related: Bubbled; bubbling.
