近日,许多地区的气温逐渐回暖,春天的气息已在悄然间蔓延。草长莺飞,柳枝摇曳,春风拂过一地绿色。美妙的春日时光,该如何用英语描述。一起来学习几个与春天有关的单词吧。
1. Vernalagnia
Derived from lagneia, a Greek word meaning "lust," vernalagnia is a more formal name for what’s otherwise known as "spring fever"—a brighter and often more romantic mood brought on by the return of fine weather in the spring. One 1958 medical dictionary described vernalagnia as the “awakening of sexual desire in the spring.”
“Vernalagnia(春躁症)”来自希腊语单词“lagneia(情欲)”,与“spring fever(春心荡漾)”意思相同,即因春光明媚,人们心里感受到的一种更加愉悦而浪漫的情绪,vernalagnia是一种比较正式的说法。1958年版的医学词典对“vernalagnia”的解释是“春天性欲的觉醒”。
2. Reverdie /rɛvə’diː/
Borrowed into English in the late 1800s, the word reverdie has a long history in its native French dating back as far as the 14th century at least: Derived from a verb, reverdir, meaning “to become green again,” a reverdie is a song, poem or dance performed in celebration of the return of the spring.
“Reverdie(春日颂)”是19世纪末期从法语引入到英语中的单词,它的历史非常悠久,至少可以追溯到14世纪,由动词“reverdir(返青)”派生而来。“Reverdie”指歌颂春回大地的歌曲、诗词或舞蹈表演。
