cir.cusy
adj.(形容詞)<注釋>The modern circus owes its name but fortunatelynot its regular program of events to the amusement of ancient times.The Latin wordcircus, which comes from the Greek word kirkos, .circle, ring,. referred to a circular or oval area enclosed by rows of seats for spectators.In the center ring, so to speak, was held a variety of events,including chariot races and gladiatorial combats, spectacles in which bloodshed and brutality were not uncommon.The first use ofcircus recorded in English, in a work by Chaucer written around 380,probably refers to the Circus Maximus in Rome.Our modern circus, which dates to the end of the 8th century,was originally an equestrian spectacle as well,but the trick riders were soon joined in the ring by such performers as ropedancers, acrobats, and jugglers.Even though the circular shape of the arena and the equestrian nature of some of the performances are carried over from its Roman namesake,the modern circus, despite occasional accidental violence,has little connection with its brutal namesake of long ago.現代馬戲團應把它的名稱歸因於古時候的娛樂,值得慶幸地不是歸因於它的固定節目。拉丁文的circus 源於希臘文 kirkos .圓,環., 指被容納觀眾的座位圍起的圓形或橢圓形場地。在稱之為中央環地的場地中舉行多種表演,包括戰車賽跑和角斗, * 和 * 的景象並不少見。英文中記錄的circus 的最早使用, 是在喬叟寫於大約380年的一本著作里,可能意指羅馬的大競技場。現代馬戲團可追溯到8世紀末,最初也是馬術表演,但走鋼絲演員、高空雜技演員和雜耍演員很快在圓形場地中加入特技騎手的行列。儘管馬戲場地的圓形形狀和一些表演的馬術實質是由羅馬的同名物得到的,現代馬戲團,儘管偶爾出現意外的暴力,與它久遠以前 * 的同名物幾乎沒有關聯注釋>
