词源
- humour(幽默):古代的四体液理论古希腊名医希波克拉底(hippocrates)认为人体内有四种主要的液体:血液、黏液、黄胆汁和黑胆汁。如果这四种液体在体内失去平衡,人的性情就会大受影响。这四种体液就叫做humour(或humor),代表了一个人的脾气或心情。 英国戏剧家班·强生写过一出喜剧:《每个人都有自己的脾气》(Every Man in His Humour)。剧中人物的性格引人发笑。因此,humour又有了“幽默”、“滑稽”和“诙谐”的含义。 根据体液理论,一个人如果体内黑胆汁太多,就会变得“性情忧郁”。因此,表示黑胆汁的单词melancholy也就具有了“忧郁”的含义。单词melancholy来自希腊语melanchole(黑胆汁),chole表示胆、胆汁,melan表示黑色,含有melan的单词还有melanoma黑素瘤、melanin黑色素等。 humor: ['hjʊmɚ] n.幽默,体液 melancholy:['melənkəlɪ]adj. 忧郁的;使人悲伤的n. 忧郁;悲哀;愁思
