註釋
Despite the upbeat books written about retiring and the fact that it is a well-earned time of relaxation from the daily rigors of work, many people do not find it a particularly pleasant prospect. Perhaps the etymology of retire may hint at why. The ultimate source of our word is the Old French word retirer, made up of the prefix re-, meaning in this case 「back,」 and the verb tirer, 「to draw,」 together meaning 「to take back or withdraw.」 The first use of the English word retire is recorded in 1533 in reference to a military force that withdraws. It is not until 1667 that we find the word used to mean 「to withdraw from a position for more leisure.」 In regard to the sting in all this we need to look at the source of tirer, 「to draw, draw out, endure,」 which ultimately may be from Old French martir, 「a martyr,」 probably reflecting the fact that martyrs had to endure the torture of being stretched up to and beyond the point of dislocating their bones.
儘管有關於退休的樂觀書籍，以及退休是從日常工作的嚴酷中解放出來的極好時光的事實，許多人並沒有發現它特別令人愉悅的地方。也許retire 的語源學暗示了原因。 這個詞最早的來源是古法語單詞retirer ， 由在此意指「向後」的前綴re- 及意為「拉」的動詞 tiver 合在一起組成，意為「撤回或退回」。 英語單詞retire 的使用則最早記錄於1553年， 指撤退的軍隊。直到1667年我們才發現該詞用於表達「為得到更多的閒暇而退出職位。」考慮到所有這些詞的負面含義，我們有必要看看tirer 的詞源， 其意為「拉，拉出，容忍，」它可能最初源於意為「殉道者」的古法語martir ， 這可能反映了一個事實，即殉者不得不忍受四肢被拉直至骨肉脫離的酷刑
