如何记忆sacrifice

2024年【早起计划】第68天

现在是早上6:36分，阅读《COCO》第十六章。（为了尊重版权，在此分享的内容为不完整部分）

“I thought you hated music,” he said.

“Oh, I loved it,” she said. “I remember that feeling when my husband would play, and I would sing, and nothing else mattered.” She let out a light laugh. “But when we had Coco, suddenly there was something in my life that mattered more than music. I wanted to put down roots. He wanted to play for the world.” She paused, lost in a memory. “We each made a sacrifice to get what we wanted. Now YOU must make a choice.”

“But I don't wanna make a choice. I don't wanna pick sides. I want you to pick MY side,”Miguel said softly. “That's what family's supposed to do. Support you. But you never will.” He wiped the corner of his eyes with the sides of his palms and turned away before Mamá Imelda could answer. Then he climbed the narrow staircase toward Ernesto de la Cruz's tower.

“我还以为你讨厌音乐。”他说。

“噢，我爱音乐。”她说，“那时候，我丈夫弹琴，我就唱歌，我还记得那种感觉，好像世间的一切都不重要了。”她轻笑了一声，“但是后来我们有了可可，我的生命里出现了比音乐更重要的东西。所以我想要安定下来。可他还想继续为世界演奏。”她停下来，陷入了回忆，“为了各自的愿望，我们都做出了牺牲。现在，你必须做一个选择。”

“可我不想选择。我不想选择要站在哪一边。我想要你站在我这边。”米格低声说，“这才是家人该做的。支持你。可你永远不会这样做。”米格用手掌边缘擦了擦眼角的泪水，还没等梅尔达回答，就转身离开了。他爬上狭窄的楼梯，朝着歌神德拉库斯的高塔走去。

【读书笔记】

sacrifice： ['sækrɪfaɪs]

n. 牺牲，祭品，供奉

v. 牺牲，献祭

sacrifice（牺牲）：向神灵献祭的供奉

        单词 sacrifice 原本是个宗教术语，意思是为了向神灵表达敬意，向其贡献祭品，尤其是人或动物的生命。

      sacrifice 由 sacri 和 fice 构成， sacri 与 sacred （神的）同源， fice 与词根 fact （做，从事）同源，所以 sacrifice 的字面意思就是“为神做的事”。

        据《圣经》记载，上帝为了考验亚伯拉罕，要他用自己的独生子来献祭上帝。亚伯拉罕毫不犹豫地遵照上帝的旨意，带领独生子上山，将其绑在柴堆上，准备宰杀他献给上帝。上帝见亚伯拉罕的信仰坚定，便派出天使阻止他杀子，让他用山羊代替来献祭。

        sacrifice 原本仅仅用来表示给神的祭品，但现在一般用来表示为了正义、大众或他人利益而做出的牺牲。
