all roads lead to Rome
英语[编辑]
词源[编辑]
古典用语的现代解读；最早可能是指罗马道路，或特指金色里程碑（罗马道路的原点）。[1]
根据里尔的阿兰1175年所著的 Liber Parabolarum (591)，该短语的拉丁语形式为 mīlle viae dūcunt hominēs per saecula Rōmam (“一千条道路永远能带领人通往罗马”)。[2]
英语中可能最早由乔叟使用于其1391年著作《论星盘》的序言 (39–40) 中，作“right as diverse pathes leden the folk the righte wey to Rome”（“如同各条小径带领人们走上通向罗马的道路”）。[3][4][5][6]
