📖 基本释义
[noun] a person filled with excessive and single-minded
zeal
, especially for an extreme religious or political cause
[名词] (尤指对极端宗教或政治事业)充满过度和专一热情的人
💡 深入解读
从词源上来看, fanatic 源自拉丁语fanum(寺庙、神社、圣地),最早于16世纪20年代由拉丁语fanaticus(本义指“寺庙的”,引申指“疯狂的、热情的、受神启发的”)进入英语后,则是用作名词贬义指宗教或政治上的“狂热者、极端分子、狂热信徒”,即对极端宗教或政治事业充满过度和专一热情的人,往往专注于所选择的用来实现目的的手段,而不管该目的的实际价值如何
狂热的宗教信徒
religious fanatics
等到了17世纪40年代后, fanatic 不再局限于宗教或政治领域,开始用来泛指对某一运动、活动、生活方式等的“入迷者、痴狂者”,常作非正式用语使用,侧重强调有着默默的决心和毫不妥协的脾气。比如:有洁癖的人
a fanatic for cleanliness
Her close confidante is a non-smoking, non-drinking fitness fanatic.她的亲密知己是一个不吸烟、不喝酒的健身狂人。
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.用作形容词时, fanatic 相应表示“狂热的、入迷的、痴狂的、极端的”,等同于其派生词 fanatical 。值得注意的是,有说法认为中文里常音译为“粉丝”的网络热词 fans 就是缩写自 fanatic 而来,但也有说法认为该词是受单词fancy的影响而来。名人名言
