摘要:Cathedral 大教堂 人们很难想象.一个教区的“总教堂 和单匹马位的旧式“轻便马车 竟然是一母同胞的亲兄弟.他们都是从希腊语kathedra来的.分两路进入英语.一路经拉丁语进入英语后写作cathedra.最初专指主教的“宝座 .由于主教的“宝座 通常设在教区中最主要的教堂里.于是这样的教学就被人们叫作cathedral. 另一路经拉丁语进入古法语.写作chaiere.现代法语又写成chaire.意思是“讲坛 或“专业人员的座椅 .继而chaire又衍生出另一个词chaise.意思仍指“椅子 .进而又指“马车 .过去的英国人误认为chaise是“马车 的复数形式.就想当然地创造了它的单数形式shay.
