Question

elixir n.长生不老药；仙丹妙药 (1) 相传这里曾有位术士能炼长生不老金丹。(2) 当他外出狩猎的时候,他把仙丹放在一个盒子里并且叮嘱他妻子不要打开它。 Elixir is a word often used with a knowing wink — a sort of overstatement of a product's effectiveness, or a decision maker's policy. With linguistic roots in the long-ago alchemists' search for the philosophers' stone, the word has an element of fantasy to spice up anything, like a remedy for the common cold. The mythic fountain of youth is certainly an elixir, but it can also refer to a real liquid, concept, or plan.
