The connection can be found in medieval physiology with its notion of the four humors (blood, bile, phlegm, and black bile).These four body fluids were thought to determine a person's temperament,or distinguishing mental and physical characteristics.Thus, if blood was the predominant humor, one had a ruddy face and a disposition marked by courage, hope, and a readiness to fall in love.Such a temperament was calledsanguine, the Middle English ancestor of our wordsanguine. The sources of the Middle English word were Old Frenchsanguin and Latin sanguineus, the source of the French word. Both the Old French and Latin words meant "bloody,” "blood-colored,”Old Frenchsanguin having the sense "sanguine in temperament" as well. Latinsanguineus in turn was derived from sanguīs, "blood,” just as English sanguinary is. The English adjectivesanguine, first recorded in Middle English before 1350, went on to refer simply to the cheerfulness and optimism that accompanied a sanguine temperament,no longer having any direct reference to medieval physiology.也许有人对sanguinary (“嗜血的”)和 sanguine (“愉快乐观的”)两词之间的联系感到不解。 这种联系可以追溯到中世纪生理学中四种体液的概念(多血质型、胆汁型、黏液型和抑郁型)。这四种体液被认为可决定人的性格,或者能区分出精神和肉体上的特征。因此,如果血液是最主要的体液,一个人就应有红润的脸庞和以勇敢、充满希望、易于陷入情网为特征的性情。这种性情被称为sanguine , 也就是我们sanguine 一词的中世纪英语的原形。 中世纪英语中该词源于古法语sanguin 一词和拉丁文 sanguineus (法语词的来源)。 在古法语和拉丁文中,该词意思都是“流血的”、“血色的”,古法语sanguin 还含有“生性乐天派的”之意。 拉丁文的sanguineus 也是由 sanguis (“血的”)而来,正如英语中的 sanguinary 一词。 英语形容词sanguine 最初记载于1350年以前的中古英语中, 演化为仅指伴随乐天派性情而具有的愉快和乐观之义,与中世纪生理学没有直接联系〔sour〕The sensation of sour taste, one of the four primary tastes.酸味:酸的味觉,四种基本味觉之一〔temperament〕The distinguishing mental and physical characteristics of a human being according to medieval physiology, resulting from dominance of one of the four humors.气质:在中世纪生理学中由四种体液之一的主宰而形成的一个人的与众不同的精神和肉体的特征〔coati〕Any of four species of omnivorous mammals of the generaNasua or Nasuella of South and Central America and the southwest United States, related to and resembling the raccoon but having a longer snout and tail. 长鼻浣熊:杂食性的四种豿属 或 浣熊 属的哺乳动物之一,产于南美洲和中美洲以及美国西南部,与浣熊有关且类似,但有更长的口鼻部和尾 〔cupping〕A treatment in which evacuated glass cups are applied to intact or scarified skin in order to draw blood toward or through the surface.
