manes 的词源
manes(pl.)
在罗马宗教中,“被视为其家庭保护神的死者灵魂”,来自拉丁语 manes “离世灵魂,幽灵,死者的阴影,地下世界的神化灵魂”,通常被认为与拉丁语 mānus “好”有关,因此正确地说是“善神”,一个委婉的词。De Vaan 引用了古爱尔兰语 maith,威尔士语 mad,布列塔尼语 mat “好”的同源词。最终词源尚不确定(比较 mature)。
Three times a year a pit called the mundus was officially opened in the comitium of the Roman Forum, to permit the manes to come forth. The manes were also honored at certain festivals, as the Parentalia and Feralia; oblations were made to them, and the flame maintained on the altar of the household was a homage to them. [In this sense often written with a capital.] [Century Dictionary]
每年三次,在罗马广场的公会中,官方会打开一个称为 mundus 的坑,以允许神灵显现。神灵们也在某些节日中受到尊敬,如祖先节和死亡节;人们会向他们献祭,家庭祭坛上保持的火焰是对他们的敬意。[在这个意义上,常常大写。][世纪词典]
