1. hermetic /həˈmetɪk/
-- airtight
Hermes除了是商业、辩才等象征外,还是魔法之神。赫耳墨斯(Hermes),是宙斯与迈亚的儿子,是奥林匹斯十二主神之一,相当于罗马神话中的墨丘利(Mercurius)。他是边界及穿越边界的旅行者之神,亦掌管牧羊人与牧牛人,辩论与灵舌,诗与文字,体育,重量与度量,发明与商业,他也是狡猾的小偷和骗子之神。他双脚长有双翼、因此行走如飞,并成为在奥林匹斯山担任宙斯和诸神传令的使者,为诸神传送消息,并完成宙斯交给他的各种任务。他也是神界与人界之间的信使,还是亡灵的接引神,他帮助死去的灵魂到达冥界。(看奥林匹斯星传的时候,最喜欢赫尔墨斯了,总是充满活力地飞来飞去~)
法国奢侈品品牌爱马仕(Hermès )的命名取源于和品牌创办者姓氏相同的此神。
Dad had to break the hermetic seal to get a pill from the new bottle.
父亲必须打开密封的封口,才能从新瓶子中拿出一颗药丸。
 
 
2. iridescent 1 /ˌɪrɪˈdesənt/
-- having colors like the rainbow
Iris 2是彩虹女神。伊里斯(Iris)为希腊神话中彩虹的化身和诸神的使者。由于是彩虹的化身,古代人认为她能够连结天和地。因此,奥林匹斯神系形成之后,伊里斯被认为是神和人之间的联系人,向人传达众神的旨意、命令和意志。与神使赫耳墨斯不同的是,她只执行宙斯和赫拉的命令,而且不参与个人意见。她也是赫拉的使女,飞行速度非常快,似乎就在一瞬间。因此,为了传达天界诸神的任务,她从地球的一端飞奔到另一端,就连大海的最深处和地底下的阴间,她也畅通无阻。Iris亦有鸢尾花的意思。
Children enjoy blowing iridescent soap bubbles from pipes.
孩子们喜欢从管中吹出彩虹色的肥皂泡泡。
 
 
3. jovial 3 /ˈdʒəʊvi:əl/
-- jolly; merry; good-humored
Jove又称Jupiter,即木星,传说在其影响下出生者天性愉快。朱庇特(Jupiter),是古罗马神话中的众神之王,相对应于古希腊神话的宙斯(Ζeus),西方天文学对木星的称呼以其命名。另外拉丁语中的“星期四”这个词也起源于朱庇特的名字,后来影响了许多西方语言。
