<注釋>At first glance, one would be hard-pressed to find a link between pleasure and the acts of assassins.Such was not the case, however, with those who gave us the wordassassin. They were members of a secret Islamic order originating in the th centurywho believed it was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies.The most important members of the order were those who actually did the killing.Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers,it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of pleasure that included the use of hashish.Hence, the name for the secret order as a whole,ôaôô3ôon, .hashish users.. After passing through French or Italian, the word came into English and is recorded in '03 with reference to the Moslem assassins.
開始接觸這個詞，可能不容易看出暗殺者的樂趣與行為的聯(lián)系。但是，對于給我們assassin 這個詞的人來說，并不是這樣。 他們是伊斯蘭秘密團體的成員，該團體源自世紀，他們認為騷擾并殺死他們的敵人是他們的宗教義務。該團體中最重要的成員是實際行使暗殺者。由于暗殺者被許諾進入天堂以作為對可能在行動中被殺的回報，據(jù)說為促使他們對天堂的熱切渴望，先給予他們一種包括使用大麻麻醉劑樂趣的生活。這樣hassasin .大麻使用者.就成了該秘密團體的名稱。 這個詞經(jīng)過法語或意大利語進入英語，'03年記錄下來，指穆斯林暗殺者。
