Honeymoon
同学们一定都知道honeymoon吧,honey(蜂蜜)和 moon(月)结合在一起的意思就是“蜜月”。
honeymoon指的是新婚夫妇结为伉俪的最初一段时光(并非一定是结婚后的第一个月,虽然很多人都有这样的错觉)。
爱情经过长久的期盼和耕耘,相爱的情侣终于手拉手走到了一起,双方的感觉能不像蜜一样甘甜醇美吗?
有一种说法认为honeymoon这个词来源于巴比伦的民俗传统。
这个古老的国家一直保留着这样一个传统,在女儿出嫁的第一个月,女孩的父亲每天都会让女婿喝mead(蜂蜜酒),以希望后辈们的婚姻永远幸福甜蜜。
然而,从词源学的观点来看,这种说法是错误的。
honeymoon 最早出现于16 世纪,honey 用以喻指新婚的甜蜜,但moon并不是指很多人认为的阴历月份(lunar-based month),它是一种苦涩的暗示,旨在告诫人们婚姻固然是幸福甜美的。
但这种甜蜜就像月亮的盈亏,只是暂时的(因此要十分珍惜才对喔!),婚姻更多的意味着双方要一起肩负生活的重担,一起承受人生的酸甜苦辣,一起经受生活的风风雨雨
