短释义：
When hostages are taken, the hostage-takers often ask for ransom, which is money paid for the hostages. The funny thing about the movie Dog Day Afternoon is that when the bank robbers take hostages, the hostages don’t really want to leave because they sympathize with the robbers. People who take hostages might have other demands too. Unfortunately, hostages are not just in the movies, they’re abducted in real life for political and personal reasons.
人质是被绑匪劫持的囚犯，直到绑匪得到他们想要的东西为止。如果您拒绝清空垃圾箱，您的室友可能会劫持您的猫作为人质，直到您清理它为止。

当人质被劫持时，劫持者通常会索要赎金，即为人质支付的钱。电影《三伏天下午》的搞笑之处在于，当银行劫匪劫持人质时，人质并不想离开，因为他们同情劫匪。劫持人质的人可能还有其他要求。不幸的是，人质不仅出现在电影中，在现实生活中也因政治和个人原因被绑架。

词源：
hostage(n.)late 13c., from Old French ostage, hostage “kindness, hospitality; residence, dwelling; rent, tribute; compensation; guarantee, pledge, bail; person given as security or hostage” (11c., Modern French ôtage), which is of uncertain origin. Either from hoste “guest” (see host (n.1)) via notion of “a lodger held by a landlord as security” [Watkins, Barnhart]; or else from Late Latin obsidanus “condition of being held as security,” from obses “hostage,” from ob- “before” + base of sedere “to sit,” with spelling influenced by Latin hostis. [OED, Century Dictionary]. Modern political/terrorism sense is from 1970.also from late 13c.
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
hostage(n.)late 13c.，源自古法语 ostage，人质“仁慈、好客；居所、居所；租金、贡品；补偿；担保、保证、保释；作为担保或人质的人”（11c.，现代法语 ôtage），来源不确定。要么来自hoste“客人”（参见host（n.1）），要么通过“由房东作为担保的房客”的概念[Watkins，Barnhart]；或者来自后期拉丁语 obsidanus “作为安全保障的条件”，来自 obses “人质”，来自 ob-“之前”+ sedere 的词根“坐”，其拼写受到拉丁语 hostis 的影响。 [牛津英语词典，世纪词典]。现代政治/恐怖主义的意义是从1970年开始的，也是从13世纪末开始的。
