| 单词 | 太监 |
| 释义 | 〔eunuch〕A castrated man employed as a harem attendant or as a functionary in certain Asian courts.宦官，太监：某些亚洲宫廷内，在内宫侍候女眷或被任为宫廷内侍的被阉割了的男人〔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 |
