【单词例句】
◇ Past perception wasn't all bad. The union between marriage and the now-standard ring placement can be traced back to second-century Egyptians who falsely believed that "a certain most delicate nerve" began in the fourth left finger and stretched directly to the heart, according to the Greek scholar Appian.
古人也不全都认为左手不好。婚姻和左手无名指的关联可以追溯到2世纪的埃及。希腊学者阿皮安解释说，当时埃及人误以为“某个最脆弱的神经”从左手第四指开始，一直延伸到心脏。
---- Why are wedding rings worn on the left hand?
◇ This is a grand conception that excites and provokes. The holders of this view claim that the origins of our highest accomplishments - liturgy, literature, and law - can be traced to a play impulse which, paradoxically, we see most purely enjoyed by young beasts and children.

这是一个令人兴奋、给人启发的伟大见解。 这种见解的持有者宣称，我们的最高成就如宗教典礼、文学、法律的起源可以追溯到游戏的冲动。 但令人不解的是我们看到只有幼兽和小孩子才最纯粹地享受着这种冲动。 从这种比较豁达和非宿命的人性观来看，我们的运动是超时代、跨物种的辉煌的创造。
