annual symposium年会
1580年代,“聚会或晚会的记录”,来自拉丁语 symposium “饮酒聚会,学者的聚会”,源于希腊语 symposion “饮酒聚会,受过教育的人的欢聚”(与 sympotes “饮酒伙伴”有关),来自于古希腊语词根 syn- “一起”(参见 syn-)和 posis “一次饮酒”,来自于埃奥利亚语 ponen “饮酒”,源自于印欧语系词根 *po(i)- “喝”。
The symposium usually followed a dinner, for the Greeks did not drink at meals. Its enjoyment was heightened by intellectual or agreeable conversation, by the introduction of music or dancers, and by other amusements. [Century Dictionary]
饮酒聚会通常在晚宴之后举行,因为古希腊人不在膳食时饮酒。通过智慧或愉快的谈话、引入音乐或舞蹈以及其他娱乐活动来增强其乐趣。[世纪词典]
“某一主题的会议”这个意义是从1784年开始有的。现代的意义特别指这个词被用作柏拉图其中一个对话的书名,反映了希腊人喜欢在酒和智慧的讨论中混合在一起的习惯。希腊语复数形式是 symposia,而其中的领导者是 symposiarch(英语中约1600年开始使用)。相关词汇: Symposiac(形容词); symposial。
Latin, from Greek symposion, from sympinein to drink together, from syn- + pinein to drink — more at potable
