uranian 的词源
uranian(adj.1)
“同性恋”这个词最早出现在1893年,源自柏拉图的《宴会》中对阿佛洛狄忒的提及;Urania(意为“天上的”)(希腊语 Ourania;参见 Uranus)是阿佛洛狄忒的一个称号,象征她是由天神乌拉诺斯所生,同时也与世俗的、充满欲望的维纳斯区分开来。
But the son of the heavenly Aphrodite is sprung from a mother in whose birth the female has no part, but she is from the male only; this is that love which is of youths only, and the goddess being older has nothing of wantonness. Those who are inspired by this love turn to the male, and delight in him who is the more valiant and intelligent nature; any one may recognize the pure enthusiasts in the very character of their attachments. [Benjamin Jowett, transl., 1874]
但是,这位天上的阿佛洛狄忒的儿子,出生于一位母亲,她的诞生中没有女性的成分,而仅仅来自男性;这就是那种只属于年轻人的爱,而女神因年长而不具轻浮之性。受到这种爱的启发的人们转向男性,欣赏那些更勇敢、更聪明的天性;任何人都能从他们的情感特征中识别出那些纯粹的爱好者。[本杰明·乔维特,译,1874年]
作为名词,“同性恋者”这一用法出现在1908年。相关词汇 uranism(“同性恋”)则在1893年出现。
