amphitheater

• n. 竞技场；[建] 圆形露天剧场；古罗马剧场

前缀amphi-, 同ambi-, 两，二。theater, 剧院。古希腊剧院都是半圆形的，因此两个两圆形就构成整圆。

1. a sloping gallery with seats for spectators (as in an operating room or theater)

2. an oval large stadium with tiers of seats; an arena in which contests and spectacles are held

amphitheater (n.)

late 14c., from Latin amphitheatrum, from Greek amphitheatron "double theater, amphitheater," neuter of amphitheatros "with spectators all around," from amphi- "on both sides" (see amphi-) + theatron "theater" (see theater). Classical theaters were semi-circles, thus two together made an amphi-theater.

That must be the oval unroofed amphitheater in Rome. It was basically a stadium with comprehensive functions.

那就是罗马的椭圆型露天竞技场了, 基本上是综合功能的体育场.
