| 释义 | 〔berserker〕One of a band of ancient Norse warriors legendary for their savagery and reckless frenzy in battle.狂暴战士，暴汉：一群古斯堪的纳维亚斗士，传说他们在战斗中野蛮且异常狂暴〔champion〕Middle English champioun [combatant, athlete] 中古英语 champioun [斗士，运动员] 〔soldier〕An active, loyal, and militant follower:斗士：积极的、忠诚的和军事上的追随者：〔second〕To attend (a duelist or a boxer) as an aide or assistant.当…的助手：作为（决斗士或拳击手）的助手或副手参加〔soldier〕a soldier in the environmental coalition.环境保护联盟的斗士〔powwow〕Because trances were so important to the Native American shaman as a means of getting in touch with spiritual forces beyond the ken of the normal person,the titlepowwaw, literally meaning "one who has visions,” was accorded him. One of the occurrences of this word in an early piece of propaganda designed to bring more settlers to New Englandrepresents fairly well the Puritan attitudes to the religion of the native inhabitants of the New World:"The office and dutie of the Powah is to be exercised principally in calling upon the Devil;and curing diseases of the sicke or wounded.”The word whose spelling was eventually settled in English aspowwow was also used as the name for ceremonies and councils, probably because of the important role played by the shaman in both.After the native peoples had been dealt withand the fear of devil worship was somewhat diminished,the newcomers decided that they could have powwows too,the first reference to one of these being recorded in the Salem, Massachusetts,Gazette of 1812: "The Warriors of the Democratic Tribe will hold a powwow at Agawam on Tuesday next.”The verbpowwow, "to confer,” was recorded even earlier, in 1780. 因为作为一种超出常人理解范围的与神灵联系的方式，催眠对于北美印第安人巫师来说是如此重要，故巫师被冠以字面意思为“有洞察力的人”的powwaw 这一名称。 这个词在早期为鼓励更多人去新英格兰定居而作的宣传中的出现，它很好地证明了清教徒们对于美洲大陆土著居民宗教的态度：“帕瓦仪式的职责与义务主要就是用来召唤魔鬼；治愈病人或伤者。”这个在英语中最后以powwow 的拼写形式固定下来的词也用作仪式及会议的名称， 这也许是因为巫师在两者中都起着重要作用。在与土著居民进行接触以后，随着对其魔鬼崇拜的恐惧逐渐消逝，那些新来者决定他们也可以举行帕瓦仪式，1812年马萨诸塞州塞勒姆的时事报 第一次提及了这种会议： “下星期二民主党派的斗士们将在阿加瓦姆召开会议”。动词意为“商讨”的powwow 则早在1780年就有记载了 〔tribune〕A protector or champion of the people.民权保护者：人民的保护者或斗士〔militant〕A fighting, warring, or aggressive person or party.斗士，富有战斗精神的人：一个处于战斗、战争中或好战的人或团体〔Dukhobor〕-bor [fighter] from borot'sya [to fight] -bor [斗士] 源自 borot'sya [战斗] 〔arena〕Fans watching contact sports such as boxing, hockey, or football in modern arenas might be struck by the connection between the wordarena and the notion of gladiatorial combat. This word is from Latinharēna (also spelled arēna ), "sand.” Harēna then came to mean the part of a Roman amphitheater that was covered with sand to absorb the blood spilled by the combatants.Arena is first recorded in English during the 17th century, denoting this area of a Roman amphitheater. 在现代剧场中观看接触运动如拳击、曲棍球或足球的爱好者们可能会发现单词arena 与竞技搏斗概念的关系。 这个单词来源于拉丁语harena （也拼作 arena) ，“沙地”。 Harena 后来便意指着罗马圆形剧场的一部分， 它由沙覆盖以吸收竞技斗士溅出的鲜血。Arena 在17世纪首次记入英语，意指罗马圆形竞技场的这部分 〔berserk〕When we say that we are going berserk,we may not realize how extreme a state this might be.Our adjective comes from the nounberserker, or berserk, which is from the Old Norse wordberserkr, "a wild warrior or champion.” Such warriors wore hides of bears,which explains the probable origins ofberserkr as a compound of .bera, "bear,” and serkr, "shirt, coat.” Theseberserkers became frenzied in battle, howling like animals, foaming at the mouth, and biting the edges of their iron shields.Berserker is first recorded in English in the early 19th century, long after these wild warriors ceased to exist. 当我们说我们正变得狂暴时，我们可能不知道这种状况会有多严重。形容词源自名词berserker 或 beserk ， 这两个词都来自古老的斯堪的纳维亚语berserkr， 意思是“狂野的斗士”。 这些斗士身穿熊皮，也许这可以解释berserkr 这个词的来源是 bera “熊”和 serkr “衬衫，外套”这两个词的组合。 这些berserkers 在战斗中表现狂暴， 象动物一样吼叫，口吐白沫，口咬铁护甲。Berserker 于19世纪初首次出现于英语文字中，那已是狂暴斗士消失很久以后了 |
