基本英英词源例句Thesaurus例句
🕋n.众人渴望去的地方¹⁰⁰n.大写麦加沙特阿拉伯城市复数meccas
Noun:
joint capital with Riyadh of Saudi Arabia; located in western Saudi Arabia; as the birthplace of Muhammad it is the holiest city of Islama place that attracts many visitors;New York is a mecca for young artists 这是专有名词普通化的一个典型例子。Mecca麦加，沙特阿拉伯城市原为沙特阿拉伯西部城市，和Medina麦地那并称伊斯兰教两大圣城。伊斯兰教创始人先知穆罕默德就诞生在Mecca，因此它成了每个穆斯林渴望朝觐的宗教中心。据此引申，Mecca现常用来泛指“圣地”、“发祥地”或喻指‘‘向往的目标”、“渴望去的地方”，其首字母也相应地改为小写。如我们可以把莎士比亚的故乡Stratford-on-Avon和著名的国际网球锦标赛比赛地Wimbledom分别说成是莎士比亚崇拜者和网球运动员的mecca。由于其词源所具有的宗教色彩，mecca用于引申义时，不能涉及伊斯兰教以外的宗教团体。Mecca有时亦作Mekkao
mentor 良师益友，可信赖的顾问
源出古希腊神话。在荷马的史诗《奥德赛》Odyssey中，Mentor是英雄奥德修斯Odysseus的挚友。奥德修斯出征特洛伊时托付他照顾家庭。Mentor抚养教育奥德修斯之子忒勒玛科斯 Tdemachus，阻止别人向奥德修斯之妻珀捏罗珀Penelope求婚。智慧女神雅典娜Athena为了帮助教育忒勒玛科斯曾化作Mentor的样子，和他同行去寻找父亲。法国作家费奈隆F．FeneLon，1651 - 1715写了一部长篇小说《忒勒玛科斯历险记》TeLemuque，使Mentor这一名字在17至18世纪广为人知。从此以后，Mentor就转义为“导师”、“良师益友”、“可信赖的顾问”。
mercury水星，水银
在罗马神话里Mercury是商人、盗贼等的保护神，也是诸神的使者。他头戴插翅盔，脚穿带翼靴，行走如飞，是罗马窳神中行走最快的神，古语quick as Mercury快若墨丘利多少反映了这一点。水星是太阳系中最小的行星，也是最靠近太阳的行星。就因它绕太阳转动的速度极快，所以古人以Mercury命名之。水银是常韫下唯一的液态金属元素，正是由于它能快速流动古代炼金术土也将之命名为mercury。mercurial作为其形容侧形式很自然地就被赋予了“水银的”、“易变的”、“活泼的”等义。
