英漢例句
- Those who preferred a private to a public life were labelled idiotes (hence our word idiot).
而那些更喜歡私人生活的人被視為白癡。 - Originally in Greek the word idiotes meant “a private person, ” that is, just your average Joe.
最初在希臘語中,idiotes意為“個人”(private person),說的就是個普通人。 - The Greek idios means "private," and an idiotes means a private person, as opposed to a person in their public role -- for example, that of a motorcycle mechanic.
希臘語‘idios’意為‘個人的’,而一個白癡(idiot)的意思是:一個特異的個體,與扮演著公共角色的人完全相反————比如摩托車維修工的角色。
