释义 | 〔eunuch〕The wordeunuch does not derive, as one might think, from the operation that produced a eunuch but rather from one of his functions. Eunuch goes back to the Greek wordeunoukhos, "a castrated person employed to take charge of the women of a harem and act as chamberlain.”The Greek word is derived fromeunē, "bed,” and ekhein, "to keep.” A eunuch, of course, was ideally suited to guard the bedchamber of women.eunuch 这个词不象人们所想的那样源自于阉人的手术, 而是源自于它所起的作用。 Eunuch 可追溯到古希腊的词eunoukhos , 意为“一个负责侍候后宫女眷,并作为国王内侍的被阉割了的人”。古希腊的词源出于eune, 意为“床”,和 ekhein “照料”, 一个太监当然是保卫女眷卧室的最理想的人〔odalisque〕A concubine or woman slave in a harem.妻妾:(伊斯兰教国家中)的后宫中的妾或女奴〔seraglio〕Italian serraglio [enclosure, seraglio] 意大利语 serraglio [圈地,后宫] 〔seraglio〕A large harem.后宫:大型的后宫 |
