一句接一句，停不下來
兩個意思都掛在同一個節奏上：內容不同，但那種一句接一句、久到讓人記住的形狀是一樣的。
noun · C1
A long prayer in a Christian church in which the priest says a line and the people answer with a short reply, line after line.

核心畫面
One voice reads a line, and a room full of people gives the same short answer back. Then the next line, and the same answer again. The beat never changes and it does not stop for a long time.

可以想成一個人唸一句，滿屋子的人回同樣一句短話。接著下一句，再回一次同樣的話。節奏不變，而且會持續很久。這個字帶著的就是那種「一句接一句」的規律感。所以不管是在教堂裡唸的禱文，還是辦公室裡聽不完的抱怨，聽起來的形狀其實是同一個。From the word’s history
From Middle English, from Old French letanie, from Latin litania, from Ancient Greek litaneia, a prayer or entreaty.
從中古英語來，再往回是古法文 letanie、拉丁文 litania，源頭是古希臘文的 λιτανεία（懇求、祈求）。所以它最早指的就是向神求告的禱文，一句接一句的形式從那時就定下來了。
