註釋
In the word pariah, which can be used for anyone who is a social outcast, independent of social position, we have a reminder of a much more rigid social system, where only certain people could be pariahs. The caste system of India placed members of the pariah caste very low in society; until 1949 they were also known as untouchables. The word pariah, however, which we have extended in meaning, came into English from Tamil pa?, the plural of pa?, the caste name, which literally means 「(hereditary) drummer」 and comes from the word pa?, the name of a drum used at certain festivals. The word is first recorded in English in 1613. Its use in English and its extension in use probably owe much to the close relationship that developed between Great Britain and India. Indeed, many of the British servants in India were from the pariah caste.
pariah 一詞能用於任何一個被社會遺棄的人， 不管他的社會地位如何，在這個詞中，對我們有一個更嚴酷的社會體制的暗示，在這種體制下，僅僅某些特定的人才能成為被社會遺棄的人。印度的社會體制把被遺棄者的社會地位訂得很低，直到1949年這些人還仍舊被稱作是不可接觸者 。 然而，我們已經擴展了含義的pariah 一詞從泰米爾語 paraiyar 即 paraiyan 的複數轉入英語中來， 字面含義是「（世襲）鼓手」， 源於一種特定節日用的鼓名parai 。 1613年這個詞首次在英語中有所記錄。它在英文中的運用和用法的擴展可能很大程度是由於大不列顛和印度的密切關係。的確，在印度許多英國人的傭人都來自於賤民階層
