Magdalene

['mægdəlin]

娱乐性解釋/意思:

n. An inhabitant of Magdala. Popularly a woman found out. This definition of the word has the authority of ignorance Mary of Magdala being another person than the penitent woman mentioned by St. Luke. It has also the official sanction of the governments of Great Britain and the United States. In England the word is pronounced Maudlin whence maudlin adjective unpleasantly sentimental. With their Maudlin for Magdalene and their Bedlam for Bethlehem the English may justly boast themselves the greatest of revisers.
