英语小知识:
perfume(香水):用熏香的烟来熏病人的房间
在中世纪时期的欧洲,当有人死于传染病时,尸体被抬走后,人人往往会点燃某种香料,用其产生的带有香味的烟雾来熏病人的房间,以达到消毒和去除异味的作用。英语单词perfume的本意就是“用熏香的烟来熏病人的房间”,做名词时表示“用来消毒的烟”。它由per(through,彻底、弥漫)+fume(烟)构成,字面意思就是“用烟弥漫”或“弥漫的烟”。 后来,人们流行在身上喷洒具有芬芳气味的液体,即所谓的“香水”。由于香水的目的也是为了去除异味、清洁空气,所以香水所发出的香气以及用香水清洁空气的行为也被称为perfume。现在,香水本身也被称为perfume。 perfume:['pɜːfjuːm] n.香水,香味vt.喷香水于……,使……带香味vi.散发香气 fume:[fjuːm] n.烟,愤怒,烦恼vt.熏,冒烟,愤怒的说vi.冒烟,发怒
