喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Middle French medaille, from Italian medaglia (originally 'half a denarius'), from Latin mediālis 'middle', from medius.

源自義大利文 medaglia，原指「半個銀幣」，來自拉丁文「中間的」。

Wiktionary

You can picture a medal as a flat metal disc on a ribbon, hung round someone's neck in front of everyone — a small object whose whole job is to say, in public, that this person did something worth marking.

可以想成一片扁扁的金屬圓牌，繫著彩帶掛上某個人的脖子，而且是當著大家的面掛的。它本身只是一小塊金屬，重點在於那個公開的動作——用一個看得見、摸得到的東西，把「這個人做到了什麼」記下來。也因為畫面這麼具體，英文後來乾脆把整個場景當成動詞用。
