Abracadabra was a magic word,the letters of which were arranged in an inverted pyramidand worn as an amulet around the neck to protect the wearer against disease or trouble.One fewer letter appeared in each line of the pyramid,until onlya remained to form the vertex of the triangle. As the letters disappeared, so supposedly did the disease or trouble.While magicians still useabracadabra in their performances, the word itself has acquired another sense, "foolish or unintelligible talk.”巫师没意识他所说的"Abracadabra"一词曾一度只是被用来佩带，而不是谈及。 Abracadabra 是一巫术用语，其字母可被排成倒金字塔形，当作护身符戴在脖子上可保护佩戴者免除疾病和灾难。金字塔形的每一行少一个字母，直到三角形顶端只剩a 一个字母。 当字母消失时，疾病和灾难也被认为是消失了。但现在的巫术师在表演时仍使用abracadabra ， 于是这个词就带上了另一种意义，“愚蠢或无意义的话语”〔magic〕Of, relating to, or invoking the supernatural:巫术的：神灵的、与神灵有关的或祈求神灵的：〔hellcat〕A woman who practices sorcery; a witch.巫婆：搬弄巫术的女人；巫婆〔voodooism〕The practice of sorcery or witchcraft.巫术：魔法或巫术的实行〔Varo〕Spanish surrealist painter whose works depict dreamlike scenes and mystical creatures and are often based on her studies of alchemy and witchcraft.瓦罗，莱米迪奥斯：(1913-1963) 西班牙超现实主义画家，其作品描绘了梦幻的景象和奇妙的动物，这总基于她对练金术和巫术的研究〔unexampled〕"Witchcraft blazed forth with unexampled virulence"(Montague Summers)“巫术以无先例的毒性蔓延”(蒙塔古·萨默斯)〔jinx〕Possibly from jynx [wryneck (from its use in witchcraft)] 可能源自 jynx [蚁鴷（来自于它在巫术中的使用）] 〔sorcery〕Use of supernatural power over others through the assistance of spirits; witchcraft.巫术，魔法：通过鬼神的帮助而对他人使用超自然的力量；巫术，妖术〔shaman〕A member of certain tribal societies who acts as a medium between the visible world and an invisible spirit world and who practices magic or sorcery for purposes of healing, divination, and control over natural events.道士：某一特定部落社会的成员，作为现实世界和不可见精灵世界的中介者，他也为治疗、神示或自然事件的控制而施行魔法或巫术〔magic〕from Greek magikē [from feminine of] magikos [Magian, magical] 源自 希腊语 magikē 源自magikos的阴性词 [巫术师，巫术的] 〔sorceress〕A woman who practices sorcery.女巫：搞巫术的女人〔magic〕The art that purports to control or forecast natural events, effects, or forces by invoking the supernatural.巫术：通过祁求神灵而达到得以控制或预测自然事件、结果或者力量目的手段〔sorcerer〕One who practices sorcery; a wizard.魔法师：搞巫术活动的人；巫士〔Frazer〕British anthropologist who examined the importance of magic, religion, and science to the development of human thought in his most famous work,The Golden Bough (1890). 弗雷泽，詹姆斯·乔治：(1854-1941) 英国人类学家，在其最著名的作品《金枝》 （1890年）中研究了巫术、宗教和科学对于人类思想发展的重要性 〔medicine〕Something, such as a ritual practice or sacred object, believed to control natural or supernatural powers or serve as a preventive or remedy.巫术，魔力：被认为是控制着自然或超自然力量的东西或是可以作为预防性药物或治疗物的东西，例如宗教仪式或圣物〔obeah〕A form of religious belief of African origin, practiced in some parts of the West Indies, Jamaica, and nearby tropical America, involving sorcery.奥比巫术：非洲土著的一种宗教形式，在西印度群岛某些地区的牙买加和热带美洲附近地区流行，与巫术有关 |
