"Pomp and Circumstance" 是一個英語習語短語,用來形容盛大、隆重、浮華且充滿儀式感的場合或行為。它通常包含兩層含義:
詳細解釋:
詞源與文學出處:
這個短語的流行很大程度上歸功于英國劇作家威廉·莎士比亞。他在著名悲劇《奧賽羅》(Othello)第三幕第三場中首次使用了這個組合:
“Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!” (“光榮戰争的驕傲、盛況與排場!”)
在這裡,它描述了戰争場面壯觀、儀式感強的一面(盡管劇中帶有反諷意味)。莎士比亞的用法奠定了這個短語在英語中表示盛大儀式和排場的基礎。
現代用法示例:
“Pomp and Circumstance” 核心描繪的是盛大、正式、華麗且注重儀式感的場面或行為。它可以是客觀描述盛況,也可能隱含對形式大于内容、華而不實的輕微批評。其文學根源可追溯至莎士比亞的《奧賽羅》,并在現代文化中(尤其在畢業典禮上)有特定的聯想。
參考來源:

Circumstance(/ˈsɜːkəmstəns/):

Graduation ceremonies are full ofpomp and circumstance, with caps, gowns, and processions.
