infanticide 的词源
infanticide(n.)
1650年代,这个词指的是“杀害婴儿”,特别是新生儿或未出生婴儿的杀害;1670年代则用来形容“杀害婴儿的人”,由 infant(婴儿)和 -cide(杀害者)组合而成。可能源自16世纪法语 infanticide。
In Christian and Hebrew communities infanticide has always been regarded as not less criminal than any other kind of murder; but in most others, in both ancient and modern times, it has been practised and regarded as even excusable, and in some enjoined and legally performed, as in cases of congenital weakness or deformity among some of the communities of ancient Greece. [Century Dictionary]
在基督教和犹太教社区,杀婴罪一直被视为与其他任何谋杀罪一样严重;但在大多数其他文化中,无论是古代还是现代,这种行为都被实践并视为可以原谅,甚至在一些情况下被认为是必要的,法律上允许,比如在古希腊一些社区中,对于先天性虚弱或畸形的婴儿。 [世纪词典]
