词汇 good samaritan
词源
good Samaritan.  The good Samaritan is nameless in the biblical story (Luke 10:30–85) told by Christ; he is only re-­ ferred to as “a Samaritan” and Christ tells how he helped a man who had been assaulted and left half dead by robbers, how he cared for the stranger and paid for his room in an inn after two holy men passed him without helping. This anony-­ mous man of Samaria, a district of ancient Palestine, the northern kingdom of the Hebrews, became over the centuries the good Samaritan, lending his name to the countless kind, helpful, philanthropic people who do good for others with no thought of worldly gain. The Samaritans are also a religious community who claim that they are descendants of the 10 tribes of Israel and that their religion contains the true undi-­ luted teachings of Moses. These Samaritans, who broke with the Jews in about 458 b.c. but are said to observe the Torah even more scrupulously than orthodox Jews, are now repre-­ sented by a few families living in Jordan. There are also 650 Sa-­ maritans in Israel, half living on Mount Gerizim, overlooking Nablus, and the others residing in Holon, near Tel Aviv. They all speak an ancient Hebrew dialect.
