Examples
One scene in the movie was clearly an homage to the director's mentor and idol.
電影中的一個鏡頭顯然是嚮導演的導師和偶像的致敬。
"Seeing Cobb Vanth ride what looked like one of the engines from Anakin Skywalker's podracer is an entirely different thing. It's these small Easter eggs that make the show so great. 'Mandalorian' pays homage to the past without fully making it a recap of the previous shows." — Herb Scribner, The Deseret News (Salt Lake City, Utah), 30 Oct. 2020
Seeing Cobb Vanth 乘坐的是阿納金·天行者的裝甲兵的引擎之一是完全不同的。正是這些小小的復活節彩蛋使表演如此出色。'曼達洛人'向過去表示敬意，而沒有完全回顧一下以前的節目。
Did You Know?
The root of homage is homo-, the Latin root meaning "man." In medieval times, a king's male subject could officially become the king's man (or vassal) by publicly announcing allegiance to the monarch in a formal ceremony. In that ritual, known as homage, the subject knelt and placed his hands between those of his lord, symbolically surrendering himself and putting himself at the lord's disposal and under his jurisdiction. A bond was thus forged between the two; the vassal's part was to revere and serve his lord, and the lord's role was to protect the vassal and his family.
homage的詞根是homo—，拉丁語詞根的意思是「man」。在中世紀，通過正式宣布對君主的忠誠，國王的臣子「男性」可以正式成為國王的男人（或vassal）。在這種被稱為homage「敬意的」儀式中，臣子下跪並將手放在主人的手之間，象徵性地奉上了自己，將自己置於主人的支配之下並接受主人統領。因此，兩者之間建立了聯繫。主從的一部分是敬拜和服務於他的主人，而領主的角色是保護從者和他的家人。
