为什么打完喷嚏后要bless you?
“Bless you” or “God bless you” is a common English expression.People often say it to a person after he sneezes [打喷嚏].The origin of the custom and its original purpose are unknown.Here are several possible origins.Gregory I became Pope in 590.Bubonic plague[淋巴腺瘟疫] was reaching Rome.In the hope of fighting against the disease,Gregory I ordered prayers to hold parades and chant along the streets.At the time,sneezing was an early symptom[症状] of the plague.So “God bless you” or “Bless you” became a remedy to the disease.Another version says that people used to believe that your soul can be thrown from your body when you sneeze.Because sneezing could open your body and Devil or evil spirits might invade in your body.Thus,“God bless you” is used as a shield [屏障] against evil.The third version is that when you are sneezing,your heart will stop beating suddenly.The phrase “God bless you” or “Bless you” is meant to ensure your heart to beat again.Another belief is that people used to see sneezing as a sign that God would answer your prayers or a sign of good fortune or good luck.In this case,“God bless you” would be in recognition [认可] of that luck.“ 保佑你”或者“上帝保佑你”是一个很常见的英语表达.(剩余346字)
