短释义：
Related to the Latin word serenus “peaceful, calm, clear,” serene was originally used in English, as in Latin, to describe calm weather. By the mid 1600s, however, it was used figuratively to describe a calm, untroubled person as well. Though people show their emotions pretty openly today, Victorian novels are full of characters who remain serene no matter how terrible the news.
选择“serene”这个形容词来形容一个人平静、无忧无虑。如果你告诉某人可怕的消息，而他们却保持平静，你可能想知道他们是否听到了你的声音！

Serene 与拉丁词 serenus“和平、平静、清晰”相关，最初在英语中和拉丁语中一样用于描述平静的天气。然而，到了 1600 年代中期，它也被用来比喻平静、无忧无虑的人。尽管如今人们相当公开地表达自己的情感，但维多利亚时代的小说中充满了无论消息多么可怕都保持平静的人物。
