Latin hôrôonô, hôrôona

源自 希臘語 hôrôinô [] hôrôs的陰性詞 [英雄] *參見 hero

The wordhero should no longer be regarded as restricted to men in the sense .a person noted for courageous action,.thoughheroine is always restricted to women. The distinction betweenheroine and hero is still useful, however, in referring to the principal character of a fictional work, in as much as the virtues and qualities that become a traditional literary heroine like Elizabeth Bennet or Isabel Archer are generally quite different from those that become a traditional literary hero like Tom Jones or Huckleberry Finn.
單詞hero 不應(yīng)該僅限于指男人， 因?yàn)樗?因勇敢行為而出名的人.的意思，盡管heroine 僅用于女人。 heroine 與 hero 之間的區(qū)別用于區(qū)分虛構(gòu)的作品中的主要人物仍然有用， 因象伊麗莎白·貝內(nèi)特或伊莎貝拉·阿徹這樣的傳統(tǒng)文學(xué)上的女主角與象湯姆·瓊斯或哈克貝利·費(fèi)恩這樣的傳統(tǒng)的文學(xué)上的男主角的美德與品質(zhì)，一般說來，有很大不同
