martyrdom n.牺牲；殉难；折磨 (1) 不同教派的自杀性爆炸者透露了西方人士声称的悖论，那就是伊斯兰教原教旨主义需要巨大破坏的牺牲来杀死其他人。(2) 基督的道路就是殉难的道路。 The root of martyrdom is the Greek word martur, which means “witness.” The suffix -dom means “state or condition,” but it also comes from an Old English word meaning “decree, judgment.” To experience martyrdom, you must witness your own death, usually because of the judgment of others. In Christianity, believers endure martyrdom in order to become saints. Some people falsely claim martyrdom as a way to get attention, like your brother who whines about doing chores because his pinkie hurts.
