15. Culture Origin of the Weekdays 英语中表示一周七天的单词都是由北欧或罗马神话中的神名来命名的。本版 Origin of the Weekdays对此进行了简单的概述。 Sunday 星期日: Sunday在古英文中的意思是sun’s day (属于太阳的日子)。 Monday 星期一: Monday的意思是moon’s day (属于月亮的日子)。古时西方人相信，月的盈亏会影响农作物的生长，也会影响医疗。因此西方人把这一天献给月之女神。 Tuesday 星期二: Tuesday是为了纪念北欧战神 (God of War) Tyr。传说Tyr用自己的手作诱饵，捉住了狼精，他的手却被狼精咬掉了。为了纪念他的勇敢，人们便用他的名字来命名Tuesday这一天。

16. Wednesday 星期三：Wednesday是为了纪念北欧诸神之父 (Chief God) Woden而命名的。Woden领导神族跟巨人族作战，也曾深入地层。 Thursday 星期四：Thursday在古英文中意思是Thor’s day。Thor是北欧神话中经常带着一把大铁锤的雷神 (God of Thunder)。 Friday 星期五：Friday在古英文中意思是Friggs’ day。Frigg是北欧神话中的爱神 (Goddess of Love)，是Woden的妻子。 Saturday 星期六：Saturday是一星期中的最后一天。它是由罗马神话中农业之神 (God of Agriculture) Saturn的名字命名的。这也是英语中唯一用罗马神名来命名星期名称的一天。
