Ja·nus /ˈdʒeɪnəs/ in Roman mythology, the god of gates and doorways and of new beginnings. Janus is usually shown in pictures with two faces, one of which looks back at the past while the other looks forward towards the future. The expression ‘Janus-faced’ is a literary way of describing someone who is two-faced (=they change what they say according to who they are talking to, in an insincere and unpleasant way). 雅努斯〔古罗马神话中的门神及一切开端之神，常被描绘为有两张面孔，一张回顾过去，另一张展望未来。“雅努斯面孔”用于形容虚伪圆滑的两面派〕Ja·nusChineseSyllable |
