重点讲解：
Ivory 象牙
Ivory tower 象牙塔
象牙塔（Ivory tower），法语 la tour d'ivoire之译。 Ivory Tower是根据圣经《旧约雅歌》（the Old Testament, song of songs）第7章第4节，睿智富有的以色列王所罗门（Solomon）曾作诗歌1005首，其中《雅歌》都是爱情之歌。在第五首歌中，新郎是这样赞美新娘的，“…Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon,by the gate of Bath-rabbim….”(……你的颈项如象牙塔；你的眼目像希实本巴特那拉并门旁的水池；……)。很清楚这里的“象牙塔”只是用来描述新娘美丽的颈项。
