註釋
Our use of the word limbo to refer to states of oblivion, confinement, or transition is derived from the theological sense of Limbo as a place where souls remain that cannot enter heaven, for example, unbaptized infants. Limbo in Roman Catholic theology is located on the border of Hell, which explains the name chosen for it. The Latin word limbus, having meanings such as 「an ornamental border to a fringe」 and 「a band or girdle,」 was chosen by Christian theologians of the Middle Ages to denote this border region. English borrowed the word limbus directly, but the form limbo that caught on in English, first recorded in a work composed around 1378, is from the ablative form of limbus, the form that would be used in expressions such as in limb?, 「in Limbo.」
我們用limbo 這個詞指被忘卻、監禁或過渡的狀態， 此用法源於Limbo 的神學含義， 指那些不能升入天堂的靈魂（如未受洗的兒童）所在地。Limbo 在羅馬天主教的教義中指位於地獄的邊境， 這也是為什麼選這個詞指地獄的邊境的原因。拉丁詞limbus 有諸如「流蘇或穗狀的裝飾性花邊「和」嵌條或腰帶」的意思， 中世紀的基督教神學家選用這個詞來指這種邊界地區。英語直接借用了limbus 這個詞， 但出現於英語中的limbo 這種形式， 首次記載於1378年左右完成的作品中，它源自limbus 的奪格形式， 這種用法是在短語in limbo 中出現的，意思是「在地獄的邊界地區」
