| 单词 | 指南针 |
| 释义 | 〔deviation〕Deflection of a compass needle caused by local magnetic influence, especially on a ship.罗盘偏航：指南针由于局部磁场的影响发生偏移，尤指在船上〔diabetes〕Diabetes is named for one of its distressing symptoms.The disease was known to the Greeks asdiabētēs, a word derived from the verbdiabainein, made up of the prefixdia-, "across, apart,” and the word bainein, "to walk, stand.” The verbdiabeinein meant "to stride, walk, or stand with legs asunder"; hence, its derivativediabētēs meant "one that straddles,” or specifically "a compass, siphon.”The sense "siphon" gave rise to the use ofdiabētēs as the name for a disease involving the discharge of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes is first recorded in English, in the formdiabete, in a medical text written around 1425. 糖尿病因其痛苦的症状之一而得名。此病症闻名于希腊语diabetes ， 是动词diabainein 派生出的单词， 由前缀dia- “穿过，隔开”和单词 bainein “走，站”构成。 动词diabeinein 表示“跨过，走过或两条腿分开站着”； 因此，其派生词diabetes 表示“一个人叉腿站着”， 或专指“指南针，虹吸管”。在diabetes 使用“虹吸管”是表示排尿量过多的一种病的名称。 Diabaets 一词第一次被记录到英文中是在1425年前后的一本医学课本中，以diabete 的形式出现 〔wind〕A movement of air coming from one of the four cardinal points of the compass:基本风向：从指南针上的四个基本方位之一吹过来的风：〔west〕The cardinal point on the mariner's compass 270° clockwise from due north and directly opposite east.西：航海者指南针上的基本方向，即从正北按顺时针方向转270度，正对着东方〔course〕A point on the compass, especially the one toward which a ship is sailing.航向，刻度：指南针上的一点，尤指船航行所朝的那一点 |
