| 释义 | 〔palladium〕Middle English Palladion [a statue of Pallas Athena believed to protect Troy] 中古英语 Palladion [据说可以保护特洛伊帕拉斯·雅典娜塑像] 〔Palladian〕from Pallas Pallad- [Pallas Athena] 源自 Pallas Pallad- [帕拉斯·雅典娜] 〔Athena〕The goddess of wisdom, the practical arts, and warfare.雅典娜：智慧、技艺及战争女神〔mentor〕The wordmentor is an example of the way in which the great works of literature live on without our knowing it. The word has recently gained currency in the professional world,where it is thought to be a good idea to have a mentor, a wise and trusted counselor, guiding one's career, preferably in the upper reaches of the organization.We owe this word to the more heroic age of Homer,in whoseOdyssey Mentor is the trusted friend of Odysseus left in charge of the household during Odysseus's absence. More important for our usage of the wordmentor, Athena disguised as Mentor guides Odysseus's son Telemachus in his search for his father.Fénelon in his romanceTélémaque (1699) emphasized Mentor as a character, and so it was that in French (1749) and English (1750)mentor, going back through Latin to a Greek name, became a common noun meaning "wise counselor,” first recorded in 1750.Mentor is an appropriate name for such a person because it probably meant "adviser" in Greekand comes from the Indo-European rootmen- 1, meaning "to think.”词语mentor 使我们看到了伟大的文学作品是如何在我们毫无察觉的情况下而经久而不衰的。 这个词最近开始在职业界通用起来，在职业界中，能有一个“良师”， 一个忠实而又聪明的顾问来指导你的职业生涯，尤其是你的提升，真不失为一个好办法。这个词来源于荷马英雄时代，在荷马史诗Odyssey 中，孟托是奥德赛的忠实朋友，奥德赛出征时将其留下以掌管家事。 对于我们今天mentor 这个词的用法更为重要的一个事实是， 雅典娜将自己装扮成孟托而引导奥德赛之子忒勒马科斯去寻找他的父亲。费奈隆在他的传奇故事泰雷马克历险记 （1699年）中强调了孟托这一人物， 正因为如此，这一从一个希腊人名经拉丁文演化而来的词mentor 在法语(1749年）和英语(1750年）中成了一个意为“贤明的顾问”的普通名词， 并在1750年被首次记载。Mentor 对于一个贤明的顾问是个合适的名称， 因为它在希腊语中可能有“顾问”之意，而且源自印欧语词根men- 1， 又有“思考”之意〔athenaeum〕after Greek Athēnaion [the temple of Athena] 源自 希腊语 Athēnaion [雅典娜神殿] 〔palladium〕from Pallas Pallad- [Pallas Athena] 源自 Pallas Pallad- [帕拉斯·雅典娜] 〔Parthenon〕The chief temple of the goddess Athena built on the acropolis at Athens between 447 and 432b.c. and considered a supreme example of Doric architecture. 帕特侬神庙：女神雅典娜的主要神庙，位于雅典卫城上，建于公元前 447年和公元前432年之间，被认为是多利安式建筑的杰出代表 〔athenaeum〕from Athēna [Athena] 源自 Athēna [雅典娜] 〔Arachne〕A maiden who was transformed into a spider by Athena for challenging her to a weaving contest.阿拉克尼：因向雅典娜挑战，进行纺织比赛而被她变成蜘蜘的少女 |
