【单词例句】
◇ During the Roman engagement process, a well-off suitor who could afford a ring would slip it over his bride-to-be's fourth finger. Thus, he'd always have a symbolic grip around her lover's vein. The modern world may have adopted that practice from the Romans.
在罗马人订婚的过程中,能买得起戒指的富有的求婚者会将戒指亲自戴到准新娘的无名指上,象征着他抓住了她的“爱情之脉”。现代人可能是从罗马人那里习得这种做法的。
