Klaproth. Klaproth, a German scientist, gave it the Latin nameuranium in honor of the discovery of Uranus. Uranium passed into English shortly thereafter, being first recorded in the third edition of theEncyclopedia Britannica, published in 1797. 元素铀的发现对现今的核子时代是至关重要的。它的名称是据在它之前发现的天王星命名的。威廉·赫歇尔爵士于1781年发现了天王星,并起名为Georgium sidus, “乔治的行星”, 用来纪念乔治三世。有人称之为赫歇尔, 但传统的力量更巨大,最终这颗行星被称之为Uranus (现代拉丁文和英语形式),如用其余的行星一样是用天神的名字命名的。在拉丁神话中被称作优拉纳斯神,而在希腊神话中被作优拉诺斯神,之所以选中这个天神因为他是萨图恩(希腊神话中为克洛诺斯)的父亲,而萨图恩是和他临近的行星;他还是朱庇特(希腊神话中的宙斯)的父亲,而宙斯又是下一颗临近的行星。这颗新行星的名字又用来命名一种新发现的化学元素,铀 是由M.H.克拉普罗特八年后发现的。 克拉普罗特这位德国科学家给予它铀 这种拉丁字母是为了纪念 天王星的发现。 Uranium在这之后不久进入英语, 首次出现于1797年出版的大不列颠百科全书 的第三版中 〔Dioscuri〕Dios [genitive of] Zeus [Zeus] * see deiw- Dios Zeus的所有格 [宙斯] * 参见 deiw- 〔Himalia〕Greek [name of a nymph who bore three sons of Zeus] 希腊语 [希腊神话中半人半神的仙女,曾为宙斯产下三子] 〔Titanomachy〕The battle in which Zeus and his siblings defeated their father Cronus and the other Titans.泰坦巨神之战:宙斯偕其兄弟姐妹打败其父克罗诺斯及其它泰坦巨人的战争〔Minos〕A king of Crete, the son of Zeus and Europa, who was made one of the three judges in the underworld after his death.弥诺斯:克里特岛之王,宙斯和欧罗巴之子,死后成为地府的三个法官之一〔Sinope〕Latin Sinōpē [woman said to have been unsuccessfully courted by Zeus] 拉丁语 Sinōpē [据说被宙斯不成功的献过殷勤的女子] 〔rival〕"No mortal could vie with Zeus" (Homer).任何凡人都没法与宙斯匹敌” (荷马)。〔Memnon〕An Ethiopian king killed by Achilles and made immortal by Zeus.门农:埃塞俄比亚之王,为阿喀琉斯所杀,被宙斯赐予永生〔Zagreus〕The son of Zeus and Persephone who was slain by the Titans and reborn as Dionysus.扎格列欧斯:宙斯和珀尔塞福涅的儿子。他被泰坦杀害,再生改名为狄俄尼索斯〔Dodona〕An ancient city of northwest Greece.

It is the highest elevation on the island and in ancient times was closely associated with the worship of Zeus.艾达峰:克里特岛中部一山峰,海拔2,457.7m(8,058英尺)。它是该岛的最高点,在古代它与人们对宙斯的崇拜有密切的相联 |
