austerity 的詞源
austerity(n.)
14世紀中期,“嚴厲,苛刻”,源自14世紀的古法語 austerite “嚴酷,殘忍”,直接源自拉丁語 austeritatem(主格 austeritas),源自 austerus “嚴厲,刻板”,在古典拉丁語中是一種比喻用法,表示“嚴厲,酸澀”(參見 austere)。
從1580年代開始,“嚴格的自我約束,禁慾修行”; 因此,在第二次世界大戰期間,被應用於限制非必需品的國家政策,以實現戰時經濟。
[Austerity] stands just at the edge of that frame of mind which regards self-denial as good for its own sake ; it pushes simplicity of living and the refusal of pleasure beyond what is deemed necessary or helpful to right living by the great mass of those who are equally earnest with the austere in trying to live rightly. [Century Dictionary]
[ Austerity ] 就處於那種將自我剋制視爲本身有益的心態的邊緣; 它將生活的簡樸和拒絕享樂推向了衆人認爲必要或有助於正確生活的範圍之外。[世紀詞典]
