拍卖源于古罗马，最早用于拍卖女奴。当时还没有拍卖槌，以鞭子抽地三下作为成交的标志。当拍卖年轻貌美的女奴时，竞拍场面往往火爆异常。竞拍人激动地青筋暴起，眼珠发红，挥舞地胳臂竞相加价。=英语单词auction一词就来源于拍卖女奴时的这种竞相加价行为。该词来自拉丁语auctionem，表示“加价”。auctionem来自augere（增加）。英语中表示“增加”的词根aug就源于此。=auction['??k?(?)n]n v拍卖，竞买=auctioneer[??k??'n??]n拍卖商vt.拍卖

小知识
In an auction, items are sold without price tags — whoever bids the highest gets to buy it, whether it’s a painting, a car, or a set of old dishes.
You can hold an auction, or auction something. You might have seen auction scenes in classy old movies where the characters bid on paintings by politely raising their hands as the auctioneer calls out a price. Auctions aren’t always high-fallutin’, though — many cities auction off cars they’ve confiscated from criminals.
