dactyl 诗歌的扬抑抑格,长短短格

来自希腊语dactylos,手指,词源同pterodactyl.手指指节一长二短,代指诗歌的长短短格。

dactyl (n.)
metrical foot, late 14c., from Greek dactylos, literally "finger" (also "toe"), which is of unknown origin; the metrical use (a long syllable followed by two short ones) is by analogy with the three joints of a finger.
