| 释义 | mascot['mæskət]n. 福神, 吉祥的东西 mascot mas.cot AHD: [m²s“k¼t”, -k…t] D.J. [6m#s7kKt, -k*t]K.K. [6m#s7k$t, -k*t]n.（名词）A person, an animal, or an object believed to bring good luck, especially one kept as the symbol of an organization such as a sports team.吉祥物，吉祥符：相信能够带来好运气的人、动物或物件，尤指用作体育运动队等某个组织的标志符语源:1. French mascotte [sorcerer's charm, mascot] 法语 mascotte [魔法师的魔力，福神] 2. from Provençal mascoto [sorcery, fetish] 源自 普罗旺斯语 mascoto [巫术，魔法；物神，偶像] 3. from masco [witch] 源自 masco [女巫] 4. ultimately from Late Latin [mask, specter, witch] 最终源自 后期拉丁语 [面罩，幽灵，女巫] 注释:The wordmascot, which usually denotes something or someone that brings good luck, enjoys a positive meaning that is a distinct improvement over the meanings of some of its ancestors. Mascot came into English as a borrowing of the French wordmascotte, meaning “mascot, charm.”The English word is first recorded in 1881 shortly after the French word, itself first recorded in 1867,was popularized by the operaLa Mascotte, performed in December 1880. The French word in turn came from the Modern Provençal wordmascoto, “piece of witchcraft, charm, amulet,”a feminine diminutive ofmasco, “witch.” This word can probably be traced back to Late Latinmasca, “witch, specter.”Perhaps a mascot is as powerful as people think;fortunately, it is now in our corner.mascot 这个词通常指能够带来好运的某物或某人， 与其最早来源的几个词的词意相比，这个词所具有的褒义色彩是明显的进步。 Mascot 是借自法语的mascotte， 意思是“符咒，魔力。”该法语词的记录1867年出现不久，就在1881年有了这个英语词汇的最早记录，因1880年12月演出的一出歌剧La Mascotte 而流传开来。 法语中单词来源于现代普罗旺斯语mascoto ， 意思是“女巫的魔法，魔术，护身符”，一个意为“女巫”的masco 的阴性小词。 这个词可能追溯到后期拉丁语的masca ， 意为“女巫，幻象”。或许吉祥物这个词是指象人们想的一样魔力无边；幸运的是，它被我们记录进来了 |
