Question

harem n.（穆斯林住宅的）闺房；一位男性的一群女性性伴侣；[动]共配一雄的一群雌性动物 (1) 回教徒隔绝他们的妻子在闺房中。(2) 苏丹的妻妾住在后宫。(3) 每一个交配季节，雄性美洲鸵建筑一个鸟巢，并邀请它们的妻妾，相当于15名雌性动物，存放它们的卵子。 Technically a harem is just a living space for women in a society that tends to separate men and women, but when we use harem, we’re often using it in the sense of a room full of women that serve someone powerful, often in a sexual way. Harem can also be used to refer to any flock of doting, servile people that surround someone. A star musician might be surrounded by a harem of devoted fans...really devoted fans.
