epitaph的用法详解
《英语单词epitaph的用法讲解》
epitaph是英语中的一个单词,它源自希腊语epitaphios,意思是“墓志铭”,在英语中有几种不同的意思和用法。
首先,epitaph可指“墓志铭”,即死者逝世后被刻在墓碑上作为记念的简短诗文,一般会包括死者的名字、家族、出生日期和死亡日期,以及一些简短的诗句或祝福,用来永远记住死者。例如:
John Smith,
A loving husband and father,
Born March 6, 1924;
Died June 17, 2010.
Rest in peace.
其次,epitaph也可指“讽刺评论”,即对某个人的生前行为或事业的评论,有时也指对某个活着的人的评论,以表达社会意义。例如:
His epitaph shall read,
\"An untiring pursuer of riches and fame,
Yet never found true happiness and joy.\"
最后,epitaph也可指“作家、诗人、歌手等已故艺术家的作品”,因为他们已经去世,所以这些作品就好像是他们的墓志铭一样,让人永远记住他们。例如:
John Lennon's music will forever remain his epitaph.
总之,epitaph是一个有许多用法的词,它最初指的是死者被刻在墓碑上的简短诗文,后来又有了上述意义。它可以用来描述某人的生前事迹,也可以用来永远记住已故艺术家的作品。
