pastime 的詞源
pastime(n.)
"娛樂,消遣,使時間過得愉快的事物",15世紀晚期, passe tyme "娛樂,消遣,娛樂,運動",來自 pass(v.)+ time(n.)。模仿法語 passe-temps(15世紀),來自 passe, passer 的命令形式“通過”+ temps “時間”,來自拉丁語 tempus(參見 temporal)。
The central idea of a pastime is that it is so positively agreeable that it lets time slip by unnoticed: as, to turn work into pastime. Amusement has the double meaning of being kept from ennui and of finding occasion of mirth .... Recreation is that sort of play or agreeable occupation which refreshes the tired person, making him as good as new. Diversion is a stronger word than recreation, representing that which turns one aside from ordinary serious work or thought, and amuses him greatly. [Century Dictionary, 1895]
pastime 的核心思想是它是如此積極愉快,以至於讓時間不知不覺地流逝:例如,將工作變成消遣。 Amusement 有兩重含義,既可以防止厭倦,也可以找到引起歡笑的機會.... Recreation 是一種玩耍或令人愉快的職業,可以使疲憊的人恢復精神,使他像新的一樣。 Diversion 是比 recreation 更強的詞,代表着將人從普通的嚴肅工作或思考中轉移開來,並使他非常愉快的事物。[世紀詞典,1895]
