助記提示
1. 區別：bubble, babble.
2. babble 是由擬聲詞根*ba-(模擬小孩咿啞學語言的聲音)演變而來，由此兩個詞就區分開了。
3. bubble 也應該是擬聲詞，由*bo-(對應漢語為：啵，啵；就是模擬吹氣泡發出的聲音)擬聲詞根演變而來，然後元音降級（-o- => -u-）而得。

英文詞源
- 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 (v.)
