单词历史
curfew宵禁令
该词指宵禁令，即在夜晚特定时间之后直至次日清晨，人们必须待在家中。该词源自中世纪法语covrefeu（灭火的信号）。在中世纪，夜晚的城镇总是存在火患，所以每到特定时刻，就会敲响钟声，提醒居民们灭火熄灯睡觉。这一法语单词进入英语后，写作curfew，后来被用以指禁止人们在夜间特定时间段内上街的条令——这种条令往往在内乱时期颁布。
英语词源
curfew：宵禁，晚间按时灭火熄灯就寝的规定
在古代中国，在夜里到了某时刻，敲更人就会敲钟报时，并提醒大家小心火烛。在中世纪的欧洲也有类似做法，即到了夜里规定时刻，就会有人敲钟，提醒大家扑灭灯火，按时就寝，其目的是避免无人照看的灯火在夜里引发火灾。这种做法在古法语中被称为 cuevrefeu ，字面意思就是 cover fire （扑灭灯火）。英语单词 curfew 就来源于此，并在19世纪时衍生出“宵禁”之意。
- curfew： [‘kɜːfjuː] n. 宵禁，宵禁令，晚钟，敲晚钟时刻
