  mistletoe 的由来
  Mistletoe在古英文中原作misteltan, 由mistel 加 twig 2 (细枝=tan)构成,其中的mistel 源自古高地德语中意为“粪”的mist, 因此,mistletoe 的原始字面义为 mist twig (粪枝),名字确实不太文雅。据认为,该植物是靠吸收鸟粪中的养分生长的,啄食其白色果实的鸟也因此被称为 mistle thrush(斛鸫)。
  关于mistletoe 的传说
  传说(legend),想要结婚的单身女子如果没能在圣诞节期间在槲寄生下得到亲吻,就会一直保持(remain)单身到下一年(another year)
  西方有个传统,就是在圣诞节期间,在槲寄生下面接吻。
  Mistletoe 是一种寄生植物。在西方,人们认为这种植物有治病、解毒和辟邪等神效。槲寄生是友情和亲善的象征。在过去,也有人认为槲寄生是一种催情剂(aphrodisiac)一般拥有神奇力量的植物。
