英文词源
- episode
- episode: [17] In modern English, an episode is a component in a series of connected events, but originally it was something incidental, coming in adventitiously from the side. The word comes from Greek epeisódion ‘addition’, a noun use of the adjective epeisódios ‘coming in besides’. This was a compound formed from the prefix epí- ‘besides’ and the noun eísodos ‘coming in, entrance’ – which in turn was a compound formed from the preposition eis ‘into’ and hodós ‘way’ (a relative of Russian chodit’ ‘go’).
=> exodus - episode (n.)
- 1670s, "commentary between two choric songs in a Greek tragedy," also "an incidental narrative or digression within a story, poem, etc.," from French épisode or directly from Greek epeisodion "an episode," literally "an addition," noun use of neuter of epeisodios "coming in besides," from epi "in addition" (see epi-) + eisodos "a coming in, entrance" (from eis "into" + hodos "way"). Transferred sense of "outstanding incident, experience" first recorded in English 1773. Transferred by 1930s to inpidual broadcasts of serial radio programs.

episode（插曲）：古希腊悲剧中两次合唱之间的部分
古希腊悲剧来源于奉献给酒神的颂歌，原本以歌唱为主，后来逐渐添加表演、对白等内容。因为这部分内容是后来增添的，不是酒神颂歌的主体，所以在希腊语中将两次合唱之间的表演、对白等内容称为epeisodion（插入的内容），是epeisodios（插入）的名词形式。epeisodios由epi（额外的）+eisodos（进入）构成。这就是英语单词episode（插曲）的来源。现在，episode一般表示电视剧中的“一集”（片头片尾都有音乐），或故事或经历中的一段插曲。
