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”〔grigri〕An African charm, fetish, or amulet.一种非洲咒语、物神或护身符〔charm〕To function as an amulet or charm.作护身符或符咒〔juju〕An object used as a fetish, a charm, or an amulet in West Africa.护符,物神,符咒:西非的一种用作物神、符咒、或护身符的物件〔grigri〕[of West African origin] ; akin to Bulanda grigri [amulet] [源自西非] ;类似于 布兰达语 grigri [护身符] 〔charm〕An item worn for its supposed magical benefit, as in warding off evil; an amulet.驱邪符,护身符:随身戴的被认为有魔法的物件,如在避开恶魔中;护身符〔mascot〕The wordmascot, which usually denotes something or someone that brings good luck, enjoys a positive meaning that is a distinct improvement over the meanings of some of its ancestors. 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 |
