单词 | 马科斯 |
释义 | 〔Marcos〕Philippine president (1965-1986) who maintained close ties with the United States and exercised dictatorial control over his country. After a fraudulent presidential election against Corazon Aquino (1986) he fled the Philippines with his wife,Imelda (born 1930). 马科斯,费迪南德·爱达林:(1917-1989) 菲律宾总统(1965-1986年),他与美国建立了密切的联系,并对他的国家采取独裁式的统治。在一次针对科拉松·阿基诺的欺骗性选举(1986年)之后,他和他的妻子伊梅尔达 (生于1930年)逃离菲律宾 〔Penelope〕The wife of Odysseus and mother of Telemachus. Penelope was made immortal by Circe.珀涅罗珀:奥德赛的妻子,忒勒马科斯之母喀耳刻使她永生不死〔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〔Aquino〕Philippine political leader. After the assassination of her husband,Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. (1932-1983), on his return to the Philippines from political exile, she ran for president (1986) against 20-year incumbent Ferdinand Marcos. Following the apparently fraudulent election, Marcos fled the country and Aquino became president. 阿基诺,科拉佐·考昂克:(生于 1933) 菲律宾政治领袖。在其丈夫小贝尼尼奥S·阿基诺 (1932-1983年)从政治流放地返回菲律宾的归途中遇刺后,她与在职20年之久的费迪南德·马科斯竞选总统(1986年)。在这次很明显的欺诈选举之后,马科斯逃亡出国而阿基诺成为总统 〔Telemachus〕The son of Odysseus and Penelope, who helped his father kill Penelope's suitors.忒勒马科斯:奥德修斯和珀涅罗珀的儿子,帮助他的父亲杀死珀涅罗珀的求婚者 |
