Anathema是英語名詞,音標為英[əˈnæθəmə]、美[əˈnæθəmə],核心含義包括宗教語境下的“詛咒”“革出教門”,以及引申義“被詛咒者”“令人厭惡的人”。其複數形式為anathemas,常與介詞to搭配使用(如anathema to),多出現於正式書面語中。該詞源自希臘語,經教會拉丁語傳入英語體系,最初特指基督教通過儀式實施的驅逐或詛咒行為。
隨著語義演變,anathema逐漸擴展至世俗領域,既可指遭強烈排斥的事物(如政策理念、科學觀點),也可用於文學創作。例如《好預兆》中的角色名Anathema Device便借用了該詞的雙關含義。現代英語中,其宗教原義仍見於經典文獻引用,而抽象化用法已覆蓋政治、經濟、社會等多元語境,常通過“anathema to”結構表達價值觀層面的對立或排斥。
