QUÉ SIGNIFICA EPITAPH EN INGLÉS

Epitafio

Epitaph

Un epitafio es un texto corto que honra a una persona fallecida, estrictamente hablando que está inscrita en su lápida o placa, pero también se usa en sentido figurado. Algunos son especificados por el difunto de antemano, otros elegidos por los responsables del entierro. Un epitafio puede estar en el verso del poema; Se ha sabido que los poetas componen sus propios epitafios antes de su muerte, como lo hizo William Shakespeare. La mayoría de los epitafios son breves registros de la familia, y tal vez la carrera, de los difuntos, a menudo con una expresión de amor o respeto - "padre querido de ..." -, pero otros son más ambiciosos. Desde el Renacimiento hasta el siglo XIX en la cultura occidental, los epitafios para personas notables se convirtieron en descripciones cada vez más largas y pomposas de sus orígenes familiares, carrera, virtudes y familia inmediata, a menudo en latín. Sin embargo, la Laudatio Turiae, el epitafio romano antiguo más largo conocido, excede casi todos estos en 180 líneas; Celebra las virtudes de una esposa, probablemente de un cónsul. Algunos son citas de textos sagrados, o aforismos. Un enfoque de muchos epitafios es "hablar" al lector y advertirles sobre su propia mortalidad.

An epitaph is a short text honoring a deceased person, strictly speaking that is inscribed on their tombstone or plaque, but also used figuratively. Some are specified by the dead person beforehand, others chosen by those responsible for the burial. An epitaph may be in poem verse; poets have been known to compose their own epitaphs prior to their death, as William Shakespeare did. Most epitaphs are brief records of the family, and perhaps the career, of the deceased, often with an expression of love or respect - "beloved father of..." - but others are more ambitious. From the Renaissance to the 19th century in Western culture, epitaphs for notable people became increasingly lengthy and pompous descriptions of their family origins, career, virtues and immediate family, often in Latin. However, the Laudatio Turiae, the longest known Ancient Roman epitaph, exceeds almost all of these at 180 lines; it celebrates the virtues of a wife, probably of a consul. Some are quotes from holy texts, or aphorisms. One approach of many epitaphs is to 'speak' to the reader and warn them about their own mortality.
