floricide(n.)
"摧毀花朵的人",1841年,源自拉丁語 floris, flos 的屬格,意爲"花朵"(參見 flora)+ -cide "殺手"。
[S]urely there is cruelty and gross selfishness in cutting down for our own fleeting gratification that which would have ministered to the enjoyments of all for weeks or months. Frankly do I confess that I dislike a wanton floricide. He has robbed the world of a pleasure; he has blotted out a word from God's earth-written poetry. [New Monthly Magazine, April 1847]
“毫無疑問,爲了我們自己短暫的滿足而砍下那些本可以讓所有人享受數週或數月的花朵,是殘忍和極度自私的行爲。坦率地說,我不喜歡肆意摧毀花朵的人。他剝奪了世界的一份樂趣; 他抹去了上帝在大地上寫下的詩句。” [《新月刊》雜誌,1847年4月]
