<注釋>The wordposthumous is associated with death, both in meaning and in form. Our word goes back to the Latin wordpostumus, meaning .last born, born after the death of one`s father, born after the making of a will,. and .last, final..Postumus was largely used with respect to events occurring after death but not exclusively so,since the word was simply one of the superlative forms of the adverbpost, .subsequently, afterward.. Because of its use in connection with death,however, later Latin writers decided that the last part of the word must have to do withhumus, .earth,. or hum3re, .to bury,. and began spelling the wordposthumus. This form of the Latin word was borrowed into English,being first recorded in a work composed before 4'4.Perhaps the most telling use of the word appears in the poet Robert Southey`s comment on the rewards of an author:.It was well we should be contented with posthumous fame, but impossible to be so with posthumous bread and cheese..
Posthumous 這個詞在意義和形式上都與死亡有關。 英文中這個詞可追溯到拉丁語postumus ， 意為.最後生的，父親死後生的，立遺囑之後出生的.和.最後的，最終的。.Postumus 絕大多數情況下用來指死後所發生的事情， 但也並非僅此一種用法，因為這個詞只是意為.隨後地，後來地.副詞post 的最高級形式之一。 由於其用法與死亡有關，因此後來的拉丁語作者們決定該詞的後半部分應與humus .土地.或 humare .埋葬.有關， 並開始將這個詞拼寫成posthumus。 這個拉丁詞的拼寫形式後來被借用到英文中，在英文中首次記錄於4'4年前所著的一部作品中。也許這個詞最顯著的使用出現在詩人羅伯特·騷塞對一個作者所得獎勵的評論中：.我們滿足於死後得到的聲名，而不可能滿足於死後所得到麵包與乳酪，這樣很好.
