<注释>When the English philospher Henry More stated in a work published in ''0 that .If ever Christianity be exterminated, it will be by Enthusiasme,.he clearly used the word differently from the way we do now.He was also using a meaning that differed from the first sense, .possession by a god,. recorded in English ('03). Enthusiasm and this sense of the word go back to the Greek wordenthousiasmos, which ultimately comes from the adjectiveentheos, .having the god within,. formed fromen-, .in, within,. and theos, .god.. Henry More in ''0 was referring to belief, either mistaken or unsupported by evidence, in one`s own inspiration by the Christian God. Enthusiasm, as now most frequently used,has become secularized and at times weakened,so that one can speak of an enthusiasm for fast cars.
当英国哲学家亨利·摩尔在其''0 年出版的一部书中宣称.如果基督教会消亡，那必因宗教的狂热.时，他使用该词显然不同于当今的用法。他所用的意思与第一种含义，英语中的.神灵感应.('03年）也有所不同。 Enthusiasm 及其含义可追溯到希腊词enthousiasmos， 该词完全由形容词entheos 而来， 意为.心中有神灵，它由en-， 表.在…里.，和 theos-， 意为.神.构成。 亨利·摩尔在''0 年所指的是错误地或毫无根据地相信得到了基督教上帝的启示。 Enthusiasm 现在被经常使用，它的含义已脱离宗教的影响并不断弱化，现在我们可以说对开快车的狂热
