助记提示


1、from Latin prosa oratio "straightforward or direct speech" (without the ornaments of verse).
2、也就是说prose是由prosa oratio简写、缩略而来。
3、prose is short form of provorsus "(moving) straight ahead".
4、pro- "forward" + vers- / vors- + -us => provorsus => prorsus => prosus => prosa (feminine of prosus) => prosa oratio => prose.
5、散文其实就是一种平铺直叙的文体嘛,没有什么装饰啊,修饰啊什么的。
6. 扑到玫瑰上,狂写浪漫的爱情散文。
