father time 时光老人、时间老人 Explanation: 时光老人、时间老人 在罗马人的神殿里,农神的样子象一个老人,有时拿着一把象征丰收的镰刀,这个形象与现代的时间老人(Father Time)很相似。这一点不是合,因为“克洛诺斯”(Cronus)与希腊语中的“时间”chronos在拼写和读音上很相似。“克洛诺斯”(Cronus)假如开始并不代表时间,后来也获得了这一意义。Cronus和chronos的读音双关也许可以解释为何Cronus吃后代,因为,正如谚语所说:“时间吞噬一切”。 http://www.znuel.net/html/2003-7-29/2003729213550.htm I don't see much association with holidays. |
