中文词源


amphitheater 圆形大剧院

前缀amphi-, 同ambi-, 两,二。theater, 剧院。古希腊剧院都是半圆形的,因此两个两圆形就构成整圆。

英文词源


amphitheater (n.)
late 14c., from Latin amphitheatrum, from Greek amphitheatron "double theater, amphitheater," neuter of amphitheatros "with spectators all around," from amphi- "on both sides" (see amphi-) + theatron "theater" (see theater). Classical theaters were semi-circles, thus two together made an amphi-theater.
