| 释义 | 〔Frankenstein〕The wordFrankenstein has taken on a life of its own, somewhat like the monster created from parts of corpses by the Swiss student Frankenstein, whose name serves as the title of Mary Shelley's novel, published in 1818. People have persisted in calling the monster Frankenstein;in fact, the first recorded use of the name as a common noun in 1838refers to mules as "Frankensteins.”The word has gone on to refer to "a monster having the appearance of a man" and "an agency that slips from the control of and ultimately destroys its creator.”Since most people have given the name of the novel's protagonist to his creation,Frankenstein's monster has, in a sense, destroyed its creator.单词Franerstein 有些象瑞士学生弗兰肯斯泰因（此名成为1818年出版的玛丽·雪莱小说的书名）从部分死尸器官所造的怪物一样，已经具备了自己的生命力。 人们坚持将那个怪物称作弗兰肯斯泰因；实际上此词于1838年第一次用作普通名词，把顽固的人称作“弗兰肯斯泰因”。此词后来演变为指“人形怪物”和“脱离创造者的控制并最终毁灭其创造者的媒介”。因为多数人把小说中主角的名字转借给了他的创造物，所以，从某种意义上说，弗兰肯斯泰因创造的怪物已经毁灭了他本人 |
