* 汉译英常见错误例析 语言文化背景知识点滴 panic? [p?n?k] adj. 恐慌的 n. 恐慌，惊慌 syrinx???[s?r??ks] n. 排箫，潘神箫(形似笙的古乐器) Pan是希腊神话里的一位山林之神,他人身羊足,头上有角。因长相怪异,一出生就被母亲抛弃,后被神救起,起名为Pan(潘),意思为“全”。他喜欢在山林里游荡,用自己古怪的声音和怪相恐吓行人,人们对此十分恐惧。因为这种恐惧是由Pan致使的,因此“恐惧”为panic。潘成年后爱上了水泽女神绪任克斯(Syrinx),可潘的怪相吓坏了绪任克斯,她吓得一直跑到拉东河边,纵身跳进河里,变成了一棵芦苇。潘伤心地将这棵芦苇削成一支笛子,并给它起名为syrinx(绪任克斯)。因此,在英语中,syrinx指潘神箫、排箫。 panorama?
