海的少女

昨晚看仲夏夜之夢時聽到sea-maid一詞，和mermaid同樣是美人魚。我突然想到，海的法文是mer，那麼mermaid的mer應該也是海的意思，maid是maiden，也就是少女，mermaid就是海的少女啦！

    It's from Old English "mere", or Latin "mare". Probably similar origin to French "mer"

    softenoften: 不謝。他們這兩週末都有表演，記得帶毛毯或草坪椅子，早些去佔個好位置。

    anonymous: yeah, Old English "mere" probably shares the same root as French "mer".
