“剃度出家”怎么說
[ 2007-02-28 08:40 ]
“我所居兮，青梗之峰；我所游兮，鴻蒙太空。誰與我游兮，吾誰與從？渺渺茫茫兮，歸彼大荒……”
大凡讀過《紅樓夢》，一定記得寶玉雪天拜別賈政、偕同一僧一道高歌遠去這一幕。只是，如今遁入空門的是“林妹妹”，而非“寶玉”。有消息稱，林黛玉的扮演者陳曉旭拋棄億萬家產，剃度出家。
請看CRI相關報道：Former Chinese actress and business celebrity Chen Xiaoxu has
taken the tonsure at a Buddhist
temple in Changchun, capital of Jilin province in northeast China, her husband
told a newspaper Sunday.
由報道可知，短語“to take the
tonsure”指的是“剃度出家，削發為僧/尼”。“Tonsure”源于中世紀，指神甫或和尚在入門儀式上剃光頭發或剃掉一部分頭發。
談到這兒，不由想起近日小甜甜布蘭妮亦有剃頭之舉，不過她的“剃”可不是為了當修女或尼姑。描述日常生活中的“剃頭”僅用常用動詞“shave”就可以了。看例句：
Britney
Spears shaved her head bald on Friday night. But that didn't send her into
hiding as she was later seen wearing an inexpensive blond
wig.（布蘭妮周五晚剃光頭發后依然高調出入公共場合，人們看到她戴著廉價的金色假發招搖過市。）
