单词 | 亚洲人 |
释义 | 〔Asian〕The termAsian is now preferred for persons of South and East Asian ancestry (Indians, Southeast Asians, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Indonesians, Filipinos, and others) in place of the term Oriental, an older usage that denotes some of these groups.Oriental has been objected to on two grounds: because it suggests racial, rather than cultural identity,and because it identifies the place of origin in terms of its location relative to the West (i.e., "from the East"), rather than in absolute terms.这个名称亚洲 现在用来称呼南亚和东亚人的后裔(包括印度人,东南亚人,中国人,朝鲜人,日本人,印尼人,菲律宾人和其他人),而不用 oriental, 这是一个老的用法,用来指这些亚洲人中的一些人。反对使用oriental 这个词有两个理由: 因为它暗示着种族的而非文化的特征,还因为它把人与相对于西方(如“来自东方”)的出生地混为一谈,而不以很清楚的名称指称。〔Eurasian〕A person of mixed European and Asian descent.欧亚混血种人:有欧洲人和亚洲人混合血统的人〔gook〕Used as a disparaging term for an Asian person.东方人,黄种人:用作对亚洲人的蔑称〔Asian〕A native or inhabitant of Asia.亚洲人:亚洲本土的人或居民〔Amerasian〕A person of American and Asian descent, especially one whose mother is Asian and whose father is American.美亚混血儿:美洲人和亚洲人的后裔,尤指母为亚洲人,父为美洲人〔Asian〕A person of Asian descent.亚裔:亚洲人的后裔 |
