    • 记忆方法

    词源记忆法
    该词源于拉丁语rosarium‘rose garden’（玫瑰园），故它原先也用于此义，和rosery同义，但后来却很少这样用了，而是用以特指罗马天主教徒的“念珠祈祷”或“一串念珠（共165颗）”。关于rosary为何被赋予此义有两种解释。其一，据说最早的念珠是用名为rosewood（黄檀木，花梨木），一种带有玫瑰香昧的木材做的，故人们称念珠为rosary。其二，圣母玛利亚（virgin Mary）有个称号叫Mystical Rose（神秘的玫瑰）。因此与她有关的祈祷书（即经书）均冠以rosary一词，如The Rosary of our Lady。以花喻指诗文这一用法并非rosary一词所独有，anthology（选集）一词的希腊词源含有“花”之义，garland（花环，诗选），posy（花束，铭文）等词也有类似的比喻用法，rosary从“玫瑰园”转而指经书自然也就不足为奇了。由于与rose相联系，rosary常被译为“玫瑰经”，16世纪以后又引申出“念珠祈祷”、“一串念珠”等义。

    小知识

    For Catholics, the rosary is a series of prayers or the name of the prayer beads used while praying. The word rosary can also refer to a set of beads for counting prayers in other religions.

    When it refers to the prayer, Rosary is usually capitalized (like the Lord's Prayer or Hail Mary). The full Rosary includes many repetitions of specific prayers, and the rosary beads are used to count them. As well as being spiritually significant, rosaries are beautiful, with beads made of wood, silver, gold, or semi-precious stones. Rosary comes from rosaire, “rose garden” in Middle French — think of the rosary as a “garden of prayers.”
