Mascot came into English as a borrowing of the French wordmascotte, meaning "mascot, charm.”The English word is first recorded in 1881 shortly after the French word, itself first recorded in 1867,was popularized by the operaLa Mascotte, performed in December 1880. The French word in turn came from the Modern Provençal wordmascoto, "piece of witchcraft, charm, amulet,”a feminine diminutive ofmasco, "witch.” This word can probably be traced back to Late Latinmasca, "witch, specter.”Perhaps a mascot is as powerful as people think;fortunately, it is now in our corner.mascot 这个词通常指能够带来好运的某物或某人， 与其最早来源的几个词的词意相比，这个词所具有的褒义色彩是明显的进步。 Mascot 是借自法语的mascotte， 意思是“符咒，魔力。”该法语词的记录1867年出现不久，就在1881年有了这个英语词汇的最早记录，因1880年12月演出的一出歌剧La Mascotte 而流传开来。 法语中单词来源于现代普罗旺斯语mascoto ， 意思是“女巫的魔法，魔术，护身符”，一个意为“女巫”的masco 的阴性小词。 这个词可能追溯到后期拉丁语的masca ， 意为“女巫，幻象”。或许吉祥物这个词是指象人们想的一样魔力无边；幸运的是，它被我们记录进来了〔witch〕from Old English wicce [witch] 源自 古英语 wicce [女巫] 〔anathema〕"the sound of a witch's anathemas in some unknown tongue"(Nathaniel Hawthorne)“女巫诅咒的声音不知从哪里传过来”(纳撒尼尔·霍索恩)〔mask〕from Late Latin masca [specter, witch, mask] 源自 后期拉丁语 masca [幽灵，幻觉，女巫] 〔Menotti〕Italian-born American composer and librettist whose operas includeThe Medium (1946) and The Consul (1950). 梅诺蒂，吉安·卡洛：(生于 1911) 意大利裔美国作曲家和歌剧词作者，其歌剧作品包括《女巫》 （1946年）及 《领事》 （1950年） 〔mascot〕ultimately from Late Latin [mask, specter, witch] 最终源自 后期拉丁语 [面罩，幽灵，女巫] 〔Medea〕A princess and sorceress of Colchis who helped Jason obtain the Golden Fleece, lived as his consort, and killed their children as revenge for his infidelity.美狄亚：科尔喀斯国的公主及女巫，她帮助伊阿宋取得了金黄色的羊毛织物，做了伊阿宋的妻子，又因伊阿宋的不忠诚而杀了他们的子女以图报复〔profane〕"Researchers have speculated that in years past people with [certain neurological disorders] were burned at the stake as witches for their unbridled use of blasphemous language" (Jay Siwek).“研究人员推测在过去的日子里， 人们被缚在火刑柱上当作女巫烧死，因为他们毫无节制地使用渎神的语言” （杰伊·西韦克）。〔mascot〕from masco [witch] 源自 masco [女巫] 〔moly〕A magic herb with black roots and white flowers that was given to Odysseus by Hermes to ward off the spells of Circe.神奇魔草：一种生黑根开白花的野草，赫耳墨斯曾将此草送给奥德赛以抵挡喀耳刻（女巫）的咒语〔hag〕A witch; a sorceress.女巫；女魔法师 |
