在古罗马城中,在Palatine山和Capitoline山之间的一个小山谷中,在几座政府建筑之间有一块空地,这块空地就是著名的“罗马广场”(Roman Forum),在现在的罗马遗址中依然能找到。这块空地原本是一个市场,古罗马人将其称为forum,在拉丁语中是“市场、公共场所”的意思。该词来自拉丁语foris(户外),同源的单词还有forest(森林)、foreign(外国的,外乡的)。=在数百年的历史中,这块空地一直是古罗马人公共生活的中心。古罗马人在这里举行庆祝,进行选举、演讲、审判以及角斗表演。这里还是各种商业活动的枢纽。英语单词forum就源自古罗马人对这块空地的称呼,中文一般翻译为“论坛”,其实就是公众集合活动的场所。因为讨论和交流是公众集合的主要内容,所以forum一词的含义逐渐演变为公众讨论的场所。

小知识
A forum is a public discussion. It can refer to a meeting, a meeting house or any conversation that is available publicly.
There were forums — large public gathering places — in Ancient Rome; they can still be found across the globe. Traditionally, newspapers were thought of as forums for public discussions but more and more forums are virtual — discussion boards found online. Communities, however, still hold their own forums, or meetings, usually to discuss local issues. When you see the word forum, think public conversation.
