1. saturnine 1 /ˈsætəˌnaɪn/
-- heavy; dull; gloomy; morose 2
Saturn是Jupiter之父,虽然传说中他的统治期是黄金时代,可是炼丹家与天文学家把他的名字与重金属铅相联系,因而成为阴沉与忧郁的象征。萨图尔努斯(Saturnus),罗马神话中的农业之神。萨图尔努斯本来是罗马最古老的神祇之一,但从前3世纪开始,他被与希腊神话中的克罗诺斯(Kronos)混同。关于克罗诺斯的一些神话,如吞食亲生子女等等,被加到有关萨图尔努斯的神话里。萨图尔努斯的儿子就是罗马神话中的主神朱庇特。神话描写萨图尔努斯在被朱庇特推翻后逃到了拉丁姆,并教会了那里的人民耕种土地;这就是罗马农业的由来。土星(Saturn)和星期六(Saturday)得自于萨图尔努斯。
My former roommate was a saturnine scholar who said very little and smiled rarely.
我前一位室友是一位沉默寡言的学者,他很少说话也很少笑。

-- 1. dangerous, attractive woman 2. a woman who sings sweetly 3. apparatis for sounding loud warnings
