wraith

鬼魂英释中释na ghost

1 I suppose the first time I encountered the word “wraith” was in the 70’s when I read JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings..我第一次读到wraith(鬼魂)这个词应该是在70年代，它当时出现在JRR·托尔金的《指环王》中。

2 Allen Upward wrote a sort of copycat book or parody of the Sherlock Holmes stories called Wonderful Career of Ebenezer Lobb in which he describe one of the characters as wraith-like..他在模仿《福尔摩斯》的山寨小说《埃比尼泽·洛布的灿烂生涯》里使用了这个词，描述一个角色“像鬼魂一般”（wraith-like）。
