1. 1賀拉斯(古羅馬詩人)。

    Horace was a Roman poet who lived from 65 to 8 BC. His full Latin name was Quintus Horatius Flaccus. He wrote poems that smile, sting, and teach at the same time: satires that make fun of greedy or foolish people, and quieter pieces about friendship, enough, and not grabbing too much. English poets borrowed from him for hundreds of years. When someone says seize the day, they are walking in his . You meet him in literature class, not in the street. In English the name is usually said HORR-iss. Though actually the Latin was closer to ho-RAH-ti-us. It is a person's name, and in an English class it almost always means this one writer.

組成From Latin Horatius, an old Roman family name. Where that Latin name first came from is unclear; it may be Etruscan. It is a doublet of Horatio — the same name, two English shapes.
