halcyon days冬至前后十四天风平浪静的日子;太平盛世
“平静,安静,和平”,1540年代出现在“halcyon dayes”(翻译自拉丁文 alcyonei dies,希腊文 alkyonides hemerai),指冬至时14天的平静天气,传说中一种神话鸟类(也被认为是翠鸟)会在平静的海上筑巢繁殖。这种神话鸟类的名称在中古英语中被称为 alcioun(14世纪后期)。
这个名称源自拉丁文 halcyon, alcyon,来自希腊文 halkyon,变体(可能是拼写错误)alkyon,意为“翠鸟”,其起源不明。解释称这个词源自 hals “海洋; 盐”(参见 halo-)+ kyon “怀孕”, kyein 的现在分词,意为“膨胀”(参见 cumulus),可能是古老的民间词源学,用来解释来自非印欧语系的借词。在神话中,它与 Aeolus 的女儿 Halcyone 联系在一起,她成为了一只翠鸟,当她成为寡妇后,她投身于大海。
