| 单词 | 看门人 |
| 释义 | 〔usher〕Middle English [doorkeeper] 中古英语 [看门人] 〔usher〕One who serves as official doorkeeper, as in a courtroom or legislative chamber.门房：如在法庭和戏院服务的正式的看门人〔ostiary〕from Latin ōstiārius [doorkeeper] 源自 拉丁语 ōstiārius [看门人] 〔lodge〕A small house on the grounds of an estate or a park, used by a caretaker or gatekeeper.门房：庄园或公园里的小屋，供管理员或看门人使用〔superintendent〕A janitor or custodian in a building, especially in an apartment house.看门人：在一幢房子里，特别是在一座公寓里，照管楼房的工友或管理员〔warder〕A guard, porter, or watcher of a gate or tower.看门人：大门或塔前的卫兵、服务员或看守员〔concierge〕A person, especially in France, who lives in an apartment house, attends the entrance, and serves as a janitor.看门人：尤指法国的看门人，住在公寓的房间里，站在门口充当守门人〔janitor〕A holiday for janitors ought to take place in January,for both words are linked.In Latiniānus was the word for "archway, gateway, or covered passage" and also for the god of gates, doorways, and beginnings in general.As many schoolchildren know,our month January—a month of beginnings—is named for the god.Latiniānitor, the source of our word janitor and ultimately also fromiānus, meant "doorkeeper or gatekeeper.”Probably becauseiānitor was common in Latin records and documents, it was adopted into English,first being recorded in the sense "doorkeeper" around 1567 in a Scots text.In an early quotation Saint Peter is called "the Janitor of heaven.”The term can still mean "doorkeeper,”but in Scots usagejanitor also referred to a minor school official. Apparently this position at times involved maintenance duties and doorkeeping,and the maintenance duties took over the more exalted tasks,giving us the position of janitor as we know it today.看门人的假日应该放在一月，因为以下两个词都同一月有联系。拉丁文中的ianus 表示的是“拱门、道路或走廊”， 也是通常所说的门神、门口和开始。正如许多小学生知道的那样，我们的一月——最初的一个月——是以神的名字命名的。拉丁文ianitor 是单词 janitor 的来源， 追根溯源它也来自ianus， 意思是“看门人或管门人”。也许因为ianitor 这个词在拉丁文记录和文件中很普遍， 它才被英语所采用，最早被记录为“看门人”之意时大约在1567年的一篇苏格兰文章中。圣彼得在早期的引文中被称为“天堂守护神”。这个词仍然是“看门人”的意思，但在苏格兰用法中janitor 也指代低层的学校公务员。 显然这个职位时不时地也包含着维护的责任和守门的义务，这种维护的责任吸取了更为崇高的任务，于是就有了正如我们今天所知道的看门人这个职务〔custodian〕worked nights as custodian of a high school.一个高级中学晚间的看门人〔gatekeeper〕One that is in charge of passage through a gate.看门人：掌管通过一大门的人〔porter〕One in charge of a gate or door.守门者或看门人 |
