词汇 lachryma christi
词源
Lachryma Christi. A strong smooth Italian wine that was originally lacrima di Cristo (tear shed by Christ), but was Lati- nized to lachryma Christi. Ernest Weekley compares the name to the German liebfraumilch, a white Rhine wine that translates as “Virgin’s milk.” Referring to the golden “tears of Christ,” Dav- id Pilgrim, in his novel The Grand Design (1944), has a character say: “ ’Tis a strange name for a wine grown on the slopes of Ve- suvius, which is as near to hell as anyone can get in the world.” See liebfraumilch.
