英语词汇samson的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Samson. Just as Delilah’s name symbolized treachery, Sam- son’s symbolizes strength. The biblical Samson slew a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass and performed various other prodigious feats as recorded in Judges 13–17. Samson’s Achil- les’ heel was not so much his hair as his weakness for Philistine women, and he met his match in Delilah, who cut off his long locks, in which his strength or soul resided. After his betrayal by Delilah to the Philistines, Samson’s eyes were gouged out and he was brought down to Gaza. Eyeless in Gaza, he per- formed his last heroic deed when the Philistines tried making sport of him; he pulled down the temple of Dagon on his tor- mentors and himself. Samson’s name has been used for weight lifters and strongmen since at least May 28, 1741, when Thomas Topham was called the British Samson.
