2. martial 3 /ˈmɑ:ʃəl/
-- pertaining 4 to war; warlike
Mars是战神。玛尔斯(Mars)是罗马神话中的战争之神,Jupiter和Juno之子,Bellona的丈夫,Venus的情人。好战的罗马人认为Mars的地位仅次于Jupiter,对应希腊神话中的Ares。Mars也是罗马城的保护神,同时他也被认为是罗马城建造者Romulus的父亲,因此他也是罗马人的祖先,所以罗马人有时自称为“玛尔斯之子”。英文单词martial来自于Mars。一年中的第三个月March来自于Mars。人们把星期二Tuesday献给Mars,在许多语言中星期二是以Mars命名的,如法语的Mardi,西班牙语的Martes,意大利语的Martedi。
英文名Martin,Mark来自于Mars,意为献予战争之神。
