所有人都不喜欢我博客的域名，说太长了，又不好记，还不明白什么意思。看来我该解释一下我的域名了。
我的英文名Xena，是我在韦博国际英语上课的时候，一个美丽的外教Megan给我的，因为大多数外教不懂中文，有一个英文名他们就更容易记住你，当时我以为只是个代号而已。后来另一个外教，英国的老师Mark很惊讶地问我，喜不喜欢我的名字。我说喜欢，然后他就告诉我说Xena是一部连续剧《Xena: Warrior Princess》里的人名，Warrior Princess是人们给Xena的称呼，就像神雕大侠是江湖人给杨过的称呼一样。这个比喻贴切吧
我在google上搜了一下，Wikipedia的部分解释如下：

Xena: Warrior Princess is an American television series program for Universal Television’s Action Pack that was filmed in New Zealand. Produced by Pacific Renaissance Pictures Ltd (owned by Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi) in association with/distributed by Universal Studios, Xena aired from 1995 to 2001. The series program was a spin-off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and many characters made appearances in both shows (including Kevin Sorbo in the episodes “Prometheus” and “God Fearing Child”).

  Xena and Gabrielle

Description

The show is a historical fantasy set in ancient Greece, although with a flexible time setting, and also features heavy Oriental, Egyptian and Medieval elements in various episodes. The series details the adventures of former Hercules villain Xena (Lucy Lawless), a reformed warlord on a quest to redeem her past sins. Xena is accompanied on her travels by Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor), a young woman who becomes her best friend and, eventually, most trusted ally. The series was filmed in New Zealand.

XenaThe show freely borrows names and themes from various mythologies around the world, primarily the Greek, adapting them to suit the demands of the storyline. Historical figures and events from a number of different historical eras and myths make numerous appearances, and the main characters are often credited with resolving important historical situations. These include an encounter with Homer, before he was famous, in which Gabrielle encourages his storytelling aspirations; the fall of Troy; and the capture of Caesar by pirates, with Xena cast as the pirate leader. This quirky mix of timelines and the amalgamation of historical and mythological elements fueled the rise of the show to cult status during the 1990s and early 2000s. It was one of the first shows to tap into to its internet following, allowing for fans from all over the world to discuss and suggest things related to the show. The fandom continues to this day.

The show is a mixture of styles, ranging from high melodrama in one episode to slapstick comedy in another, from whimsical to all-out action and/or adventure in another. Although it is ostensibly set in ancient times, the themes of the show are essentially modern: taking responsibility for past misdeeds, the value of human life, personal liberty and sacrifice, and friendship. The flexible fantasy framework of the show accommodates a considerable range of styles, including an original musical episode, The Bitter Suite. Although the show often addresses ethical dilemmas such as the morality of pacifism, the storylines rarely seek to provide unequivocal solutions.

In addition to Xena and Gabrielle, the show also features a wide assortment of recurring characters, including adversaries Ares (Kevin Smith), Alti (Claire Stansfield) and Callisto (Hudson Leick), and trusted friends Salmoneus (Robert Trebor), Virgil (William Gregory Lee), Autolycus (Bruce Campbell), Eli (Tim Omundson) and Joxer (Ted Raimi).
