amphitheater 圆形大剧院
前缀amphi-, 同ambi-, 两，二。theater, 剧院。古希腊剧院都是半圆形的，因此两个两圆形就构成整圆。
英文词源
- amphitheater (n.)
- late 14c., from Latin amphitheatrum, from Greek amphitheatron "double theater, amphitheater," neuter of amphitheatros "with spectators all around," from amphi- "on both sides" (see amphi-) + theatron "theater" (see theater). Classical theaters were semi-circles, thus two together made an amphi-theater.
