Abracadabra was a magic word,the letters of which were arranged in an inverted pyramidand worn as an amulet around the neck to protect the wearer against disease or trouble.One fewer letter appeared in each line of the pyramid,until onlya remained to form the vertex of the triangle. As the letters disappeared, so supposedly did the disease or trouble.While magicians still useabracadabra in their performances, the word itself has acquired another sense, "foolish or unintelligible talk.”巫师没意识他所说的"Abracadabra"一词曾一度只是被用来佩带，而不是谈及。 Abracadabra 是一巫术用语，其字母可被排成倒金字塔形，当作护身符戴在脖子上可保护佩戴者免除疾病和灾难。金字塔形的每一行少一个字母，直到三角形顶端只剩a 一个字母。 当字母消失时，疾病和灾难也被认为是消失了。但现在的巫术师在表演时仍使用abracadabra ， 于是这个词就带上了另一种意义，“愚蠢或无意义的话语”〔Jackson〕American singer whose powerful performances and recordings, such as "Move on up a Little Higher" (1945), did much to popularize gospel music among general audiences.杰克逊，迈哈莱：(1911-1972) 美国歌星，其强有力的表演和唱片，如“继续向上移高一点”(1945年），对在民众中普及福音音乐起了很大作用〔curtain〕The rising or opening of a theater curtain at the beginning of a performance or an act.启幕：在表演或戏剧的一幕开始时升起或拉开戏院的幕布〔perform〕The juggler performed atop a unicycle.杂技演员骑在独轮车上表演〔run〕To be greater or bigger than others in (a performance, for example).（如在表演中）胜过其他的〔magical〕a magical performance of the ballet.芭蕾舞演员迷人的表演〔heraldry〕Pomp and ceremony, especially attended with armorial trappings; pageantry.展示各种纹章的堂皇礼仪：壮观的仪式，尤指有纹间装饰的仪式；壮观的表演〔Lunt〕American actor who performed with his wife Lynn Fontanne in many stage productions, includingPygmalion (1926) and Quadrille (1952-1955). 兰特，艾尔弗雷德：(1893-1977) 美国演员，曾与其妻子林恩·方丹表演了许多舞台剧，包括《皮格马利翁》 （1926年）和 《夸德里尔牌戏》 （1952-1955年） 〔tread〕To act on the stage:表演：在舞台上表演：〔partner〕To work or perform as a partner.合伙，搭档：作为搭档在一起工作或表演〔Bunraku〕A traditional Japanese puppet theater featuring large puppets operated by on-stage puppeteers with a narrative recited from off-stage.

Atkinson remarked in her 1863Recollections of the Tartar Steppes and their Inhabitants, "I am no amateur of these melons,” she usedamateur in a sense unfamiliar to us. That sense, "a lover, an admirer,” is, however, clearly descended from the senses of the word's ultimate Latin source,amātor, "lover, devoted friend, devotee, enthusiastic pursuer of an objective,” and from its immediate Latin-derived French source,amateur, with a similar range of meanings. First recorded in English in 1784 with the sense in which Mrs. Atkinson used it,amateur is found in 1786 with a meaning more familiar to us, "a person who engages in an art, for example, as a pastime rather than as a profession,” a sense that had already developed in French.Given the limitations of doing something as an amateur,it is not surprising that the word is soon after recorded in the disparaging sensewe still use to refer to someone who lacks professional skill or ease in performance.当T.W.阿特金森夫人在她1863年出版的塔塔·史坦普和其居民回忆录， 中提到“我并不喜欢这些瓜果”时， 她使用的amateur 是我们所不熟悉的一个意思。 可是这种“爱好者，喜爱者，”的意思显然有其正宗拉丁语来源，amator, 意思是“爱人，忠实的朋友，奉献者，对某目标热情的追求者”， 还有由拉丁语直接派生出的法语来源，amateur, 具有相似的意思。 1784年记录在英语文字中出现的这个词正是阿特金森夫人使用的意思，1786年出现的amateur 有我们更为熟悉的意思， “如一个从事艺术，把它作为一项消遣，而不是一个职业的人，”法语的词早已发展了这种意思。如果把意思限定为从事业余活动的人，这个词被记录下来后不久就有了贬义含意，也就不足为奇了，我们用它来指在表演中缺乏专业技巧或缺乏得心应手的感觉〔couple〕a square dance performed by four couples. The term may also mean simply "few": 由四对表演的四方舞。 这个名词也可以指简单的“几个”： 〔empty〕The theater emptied after the performance.表演结束后剧院空无一人〔mime〕To act as a mimic.演滑稽角色：如滑稽演员一样表演〔Hepburn〕American actress whose unique comedic and dramatic presence marks many motion pictures, includingThe Philadelphia Story (1940), Adam's Rib (1949), and The African Queen (1951).
