短释义：
Something that one absolutely and positively cannot stand is anathema. Garlic is anathema to vampires (ditto for stakes and daylight). So is kryptonite to Superman or a silver bullet to a werewolf.
一个人绝对不能忍受的东西是诅咒。大蒜是吸血鬼的诅咒（木桩和日光也是如此）。氪石之于超人或银弹之于狼人也是如此。
长释义：
Originally the term anathema comes from the Catholic practice of denouncing a particular individual or idea that was antithetical to the Catholic Church. If done to a person, it excommunicated them, meaning they could no longer partake in the church’s sacraments (with presumably pretty poor consequences for the soul.) That’s a lot worse than kryptonite.
最初，诅咒一词来自天主教谴责与天主教会对立的特定个人或想法的做法。如果对一个人这样做，它会将他们逐出教会，这意味着他们不能再参加教堂的圣礼（大概对灵魂造成非常糟糕的后果。）这比氪石更糟糕。
文学例句：

词源：
anathema (n.)1520s, "an accursed thing," from Latin anathema "an excommunicated person; the curse of excommunication," from Ecclesiastical Greek anathema "a thing accursed," a slight variation of classical Greek anathama, which meant merely "a thing devoted," literally "a thing set up (to the gods)," such as a votive offering in a temple, from ana "up" (see ana-) + tithenai "to put, to place" (from reduplicated form of PIE root dhe- "to set, put").By the time it reached Late Latin the meaning of the Greek word had progressed through "thing devoted to evil," to "thing accursed or damned." Later it was applied to persons and the Divine Curse. The meaning "act or formula of excommunicating and consigning to damnation by ecclesiastical authority" is from 1610s.Anathema maranatha, taken as an intensified form, is held to be a misreading of I Corinthians xvi.22 where anathema is followed by Aramaic maran atha "Our Lord hath come" (see Maranatha).Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
anathema (n.)1520s，“被诅咒的东西”，来自拉丁语 anathema “被逐出教会的人；被逐出教会的诅咒”，来自教会希腊语 anathema “被诅咒的东西”，是古典希腊语 anaathama 的轻微变体，意思仅仅是“一个奉献的东西”，字面意思是“（献给神的）东西”，例如寺庙中的还愿祭，来自 ana“向上”（见 ana-）+ tithenai“放置，放置”（来自重复形式PIE 词根 dhe-“设置，放置”）。到晚期拉丁语时，希腊词的含义已经从“致力于邪恶的事物”发展为“被诅咒或诅咒的事物”。后来它被应用于人和神圣的诅咒。意思是“由教会权威逐出教会并交付诅咒的行为或公式”来自 1610 年代。Anathema maranatha 作为一种强化形式，被认为是对 I Corinthians xvi.22 的误读，其中 anathema 之后是亚拉姆语 maran atha“我们的主来了”（见 Maranatha）。相关条目及更多
