英语词汇goliath的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Goliath. The original Goliath stood between 9 feet 9 inches and 11 feet 3 inches tall, depending on how you value the “6 cubits and a span” given as his height in the Bible. Nevertheless, the stripling David slew him with a stone from his sling (I Sam. 17:49–51) and defeated the Philistines. A David and Goliath contest is one between a great and a small man. Not to take an- ything away from David, but Goliath was a stripling compared to the giant Og (16 feet 21⁄2 inches) and other biblical big men. All such claims, however, are most likely based on our igno- rance of ancient measurement units.
