7. PEONY
牡丹
The peony, a word found in Old English, was believed to have healing properties in early medicine, which is why its name might honor Paion, the physician of the gods in Greek mythology.
牡丹的英文名peony起源于古英语,在早期医学中,人们认为牡丹具有疗伤功效,因此,可能根据希腊神话中众神的医生Paion,将其命名为peony。
8. RHODODENDRON [,rodə'dɛndrən]
杜鹃
Like many other flower names, rhododendron enters the English record in the mid-1500s. The name literally means “rose tree” in Greek. It’s an apt name, for this shrub or small tree blooms with brilliant, rose-colored flowers.
和其他众多鲜花名一样,rhododendron(杜鹃)是16世纪中叶传入英语中的。Rhododendron在希腊语中的意思是“玫瑰树”。这个名字非常贴切,因为这种像小树一样的灌木植物能开出鲜艳的玫瑰色花朵。
9. TULIP
郁金香
Passing into English via Dutch or German in the late 1500s, tulip actually comes from the Turkishtülbent, based on the Persian dulband:“turban.” The flower, to its ancient namers, resembled the male headwear worn throughout the Middle East, India, and parts of Africa.
16世纪晚期,tulip(郁金香)从荷兰语或德语中传入英语,这个单词实际上源自于Turkishtülbent。Turkishtülbent来自于波斯语dulband,指“穆斯林的头巾”。按照郁金香古代名字的意思,这种花好像中东、印度以及非洲部分地区男性的头饰。
