1.它起源于華北地區(qū)的民間說唱曲藝，在明朝即已盛行：“起源于”可譯為originate from, originate可構成以下詞組：originate in/from (起源于）、originate with(發(fā)生）。“民間說唱曲藝”可譯為folk vocal art;“盛行”可用名詞popularity表示，即譯為enjoy a popularity,同時也可以使用動詞prevail表示。
2.還有一些改編自民間笑話、歷史人物、事件和文字游戲：“改編自”可譯為adapt from。在實際翻譯中，要注意區(qū)別adapt與其形近詞adopt(采取；收養(yǎng)）的拼寫。“歷史人物”可譯為historical figures。
