    Ado·nisBrE /əˈdəʊnɪs/ 🔊NAmE /əˈdoʊnɪs/ 🔊 nounan extremely attractive young man 英俊青年 ORIGIN From the name of the beautiful young man in ancient Greek myths, who was loved by both Aphrodite and Persephone. He was killed by a wild boar but Zeus ordered that he should spend the winter months in the underworld with Persephone and the summer months with Aphrodite. 源自希腊神话中的美少年阿多尼斯之名，他同时为阿佛洛狄忒和珀耳塞福涅所爱。被野猪咬死后，宙斯命其在阴间和珀耳塞福涅一起度过冬季，和阿佛洛狄忒一起度过夏季。
