tantalize 招惹，使干着急

来自拉丁语 Tantalus,来自希腊语 Tantalos,古希腊神话中的人物，传说中为古希腊城邦 Phrygia 国王，宙斯在凡间的私生子，恃宠而骄，蔑视诸神，为检验诸神是否如传说中一样能未卜先知，将自己儿子杀死做成一桌菜款待诸神，诸神识破后为对他进行惩罚，将其绑在一池深水的铁链上，水波刚好够到他的下巴，低头要喝水，水即流走，鲜果悬荡在其额头，仰头要吃水果，果枝即晃走。因其引申该词义。

tantalize: tantalize: [16] The verb tantalize was inspired by the sad story of Tantalus, a mythical king of Phrygia in the ancient world. He had displeased the gods in some way (versions differ as to how, the commonest being that he had stolen their food), and as a punishment he was condemned to stand for ever in water up to his chin, while overhead hung boughs laden with fruit: whenever he stooped to drink, the water disappeared, and when he tried to reach the fruit, the wind blew it away. The term tantalus, coined in the 19th century for a lockable decanter stand whose contents can be seen but not got at, preserves the same idea.
tantalize (v.): 1590s, with -ize + Latin Tantalus, from Greek Tantalos, king of Phrygia, son of Zeus, father of Pelops and Niobe, punished in the afterlife (for an offense variously given) by being made to stand in a river up to his chin, under branches laden with fruit, all of which withdrew from his reach whenever he tried to eat or drink. His story was known to Chaucer (c. 1369). Related: Tantalized; tantalizing; tantalizingly; tantalization.
