释义 | 〔misericord〕A dagger, a support for someone who is standing, and a special monastic apartment are all called by the same name because,strangely enough,they are all examples of mercy.The wordmisericord goes back to Latin misericordia, "mercy,” derived frommisericors, "merciful,” which is in turn derived frommiserērī, "to pity,” and cor, "heart.” In Medieval Latin the wordmisericordia was used to denote various merciful things, and these senses were borrowed into English.Misericordia referred to an apartment in a monastery where certain relaxations of the monastic rule were permitted,especially those involving food and drink.The word also designated a projection on the underside of a hinged seat in a choir stall against which a standing person could lean,no doubt a merciful thing during long services.Finally,misericordia was used for a dagger with which the death stroke was administered to a seriously wounded knight. 匕首、站立的人依靠的托板和一种特殊的修道院房都被称为同一名称,尽管非常奇怪,但这是因为它们全都是仁慈和怜悯的例证。misericord 一词可追溯到拉丁词 misericordia 意为“怜悯”, 源自misericors 意为“怜悯的”, 而后者又从misereri 意为“怜悯”和 cor 意为“心”演变而来。 在中世纪拉丁文中misericordia 一词用来指示各种表现仁慈和怜悯的事物, 这些意思被转借进了英语。Misericordia 指的是修道院中的一个房间, 某些特定的修道戒律在此被允许放宽,特别是有关饮食的戒律。这个词也指教堂座位的活动座板底面上可供站立的人依靠的凸出物,这在长长的宗教仪式中无疑是一个富有仁慈之心的物体,后来misericordia 也用来指将受伤很重的骑士刺死的匕首 〔thwart〕A seat across a boat on which a rower may sit.座板:划手可坐在上面的横贯小艇的座位〔misericord〕A bracket attached to the underside of a hinged seat in a church stall against which a standing person may lean. Also called miserere 凸出托板:教堂座位的活动座板底面上用以供站立的人依靠的凸出托板 也作 miserere |
