"God'sforgivenessofhiscreatures'offenses,“英语单词mercy的词根是merc，与merchandise（商品）、market（市场）词根相同，都源自神话中的神使和商业守护神墨丘利（Mercury）。因此，mercy的字面意思是“回报”，指上天对好人的回报和恩典，而回报的方式就是对人犯下的错误的宽容和原谅，这就是mercy一词的初始含义。后来，词义发生泛化，还可以表示人对其他人的宽容和怜悯。mercy：['mɜːsɪ]n.仁慈，宽容，怜悯，幸运mercifula.mercifullyad.unmercifullyad.mercilessa.单句填空练习：1.Ordinarypeopleareatthe
