The connection can be found in medieval physiology with its notion of the four humors (blood, bile, phlegm, and black bile).These four body fluids were thought to determine a person's temperament,or distinguishing mental and physical characteristics.Thus, if blood was the predominant humor, one had a ruddy face and a disposition marked by courage, hope, and a readiness to fall in love.Such a temperament was calledsanguine, the Middle English ancestor of our wordsanguine. The sources of the Middle English word were Old Frenchsanguin and Latin sanguineus, the source of the French word. Both the Old French and Latin words meant "bloody,” "blood-colored,”Old Frenchsanguin having the sense "sanguine in temperament" as well. Latinsanguineus in turn was derived from sanguīs, "blood,” just as English sanguinary is. The English adjectivesanguine, first recorded in Middle English before 1350, went on to refer simply to the cheerfulness and optimism that accompanied a sanguine temperament,no longer having any direct reference to medieval physiology.也许有人对sanguinary (“嗜血的”)和 sanguine (“愉快乐观的”)两词之间的联系感到不解。 这种联系可以追溯到中世纪生理学中四种体液的概念(多血质型、胆汁型、黏液型和抑郁型)。这四种体液被认为可决定人的性格,或者能区分出精神和肉体上的特征。因此,如果血液是最主要的体液,一个人就应有红润的脸庞和以勇敢、充满希望、易于陷入情网为特征的性情。这种性情被称为sanguine , 也就是我们sanguine 一词的中世纪英语的原形。 中世纪英语中该词源于古法语sanguin 一词和拉丁文 sanguineus (法语词的来源)。 在古法语和拉丁文中,该词意思都是“流血的”、“血色的”,古法语sanguin 还含有“生性乐天派的”之意。 拉丁文的sanguineus 也是由 sanguis (“血的”)而来,正如英语中的 sanguinary 一词。 英语形容词sanguine 最初记载于1350年以前的中古英语中, 演化为仅指伴随乐天派性情而具有的愉快和乐观之义,与中世纪生理学没有直接联系〔drain〕To fatigue or spend emotionally or physically:消耗:使在情感上或肉体上疲劳或消耗:〔lost〕Spiritually or physically destroyed.无感觉的,麻木的:精神上或肉体上被摧毁的〔ruin〕Total destruction or disintegration, either physical, moral, social, or economic.毁灭,灭亡:肉体上、道德上、社会上或经济上的完全毁坏或粉碎〔brute〕Entirely physical:完全是肉体上的:〔burn〕Singe specifies superficial burning by brief exposure to flameand especially the deliberate removal of projections such as bristles or feathers from a carcass, such as a plucked fowl, before cooking: Singe 专指短暂暴露于火焰上造成表面灼伤,尤指小心除去肉体上的如羽毛或鬃毛的突出物(如烹饪前的拔过毛的家禽): 〔pressure〕An oppressive condition of physical, mental, social, or economic distress.困扰:肉体上,精神上,社交上或经济上痛苦或不适而产生的有压力的处境〔hard〕Physically addictive.
