pantheon万神殿
In ancient Egypt, at the top of the society was Pharaoh, a divine king who after death joined the pantheon of gods that watched over Egypt, through whose nobles and officials law and economic orders were imposed, with a large army of priestly clerks called scribes employed as supervisors. (pan-整个,theos, god 神)
在古埃及,法老处于社会顶层,具有神圣的地位,死后跻身于庇佑埃及的众神之殿,法老之下的贵族和官员们实施法律和经济法规,并组建了一支由被称为祭司的僧侣构成的监督队伍。
theo-虽然最常见的词是theory理论,但起初的意思还是关于神,deity,所以theologist表示神学家就很自然,某个时期以前,所谓的理论,都是掌控在宗教手中。浏览金山词霸,theomania宗教狂,特指自封为神的人,嘿嘿,这样看单词,不是背诵记忆,更多的是玩拼图一般的游戏了。
pan-是成词能力很强的前缀,如此之强,以至于很多时候我们没有意识到这个前缀的存在。我喜欢的几个单词:panacea万能药,panorama全景,Pan-America泛美(航空)。
