词源记忆法
anthem最初是教堂里应答轮唱的圣歌。它和单词antiphon(轮流吟唱的歌)一样都来自希腊语antiphona。词根anti表示“against”或“in return”,phona是phone的变形,表示“sound”。这个词几经周折,最后演变成英语中的anthem,前三个字母ant还能依稀辨别出anti(in return)的痕迹。

小知识
Rousing, reverential, sometimes even revolutionary, an anthem is a song that represents the ideals of a group of people.
Anthem comes from Old English antefn. The original word meant a song sung antiphonally, or in turns by two groups of singers. Today, anthem has little to do with the way the vocals are arranged and more to do with the content of the message. When a group of people sing an anthem, whether it’s the national anthem, or the anthem of your third-grader’s beetle-collecting club, they express their devotion to a cause they identify with.
