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〔shy〕"I never laughed, being bashful./Lowering my head, I looked at the wall" (Ezra Pound).“我从来不笑，生性害羞。/低着头，我盯着墙壁” （埃兹拉·庞德）。〔unsociable〕Not disposed to seek the company of others; reserved.不合群的：生性不喜欢与他人为伴的；沉默寡言的〔fuck〕An act of sexual intercourse.性交：发生性关系的行为〔bed〕To have sexual relations with.上床，同床共枕：与…发生性关系〔whoremaster〕A man who associates with or pays for sexual relations with prostitutes or a prostitute.嫖客：与妓女交往的男子，为与妓女发生性关系付钱的男子〔incest〕The statutory crime of sexual relations with such a near relative.乱伦罪：与这样一个近亲发生性关系的法定乱伦罪〔necrophilia〕Erotic attraction to or sexual contact with corpses.奸尸：被尸体性别的吸引或同尸体发生性关系〔sleep〕To be sexually active with more than one partner.到处与人发生性关系：在性方面与一个以上伙伴发生关系〔proposition〕To propose a private bargain to, especially to propose sexual relations with.秘密交易：向…提出一桩私下交易，尤指提出与…发生性关系〔sleep〕To have sexual relations with.与…发生性关系〔hobbit〕An imaginary creature resembling a diminutive human being, having some rabbitlike characteristics, and being naturally peace-loving, domestic, and sociable.小矮人：一种类似于矮人的想象中的动物，有一些兔子的特征，生性酷爱和平、驯服及易于交往〔pensive〕"Cromwell was of the active, not the reflective temper" (John Morley).“克伦威尔生性躁动，缺乏深思熟虑的性格” （约翰·莫利）。〔turn〕a curious and speculative turn of mind.生性好奇，爱冒险〔frig〕To have sexual intercourse with.交配：和…发生性关系〔fuck〕To have sexual intercourse with.性交：与…发生性关系〔miscegenation〕Cohabitation, sexual relations, or marriage involving persons of different races.种族混合：不同种族的人们的同居、发生性关系或通婚〔gangbang〕Sexual intercourse, often rape, involving one person or victim and several others who have relations with that person in rapid succession.集体轮奸：涉及一个人或受害者和其他几人接连快速与其发生性关系的性交，尤指强奸〔jailbait〕A person below the age of consent with whom sexual intercourse can constitute statutory rape.祸水妞儿，未成年少女：指其小于同意年龄、一经与之发生性关系即在法律上构成强奸的女人〔bed〕To have sexual relations with.上床，同床：与…发生性关系〔bandog〕A dog, such as a mastiff, kept chained as a watchdog or because of its ferocious aggressiveness.猛犬，门犬：用链子锁着作为看门狗或因其生性凶残而用链子锁着，如獒犬〔superfecundation〕Fertilization of more than one ovum within a single menstrual cycle by separate acts of coitus, especially by different males.同期复孕：一个月经周期内不同的性行为引起的多于一个卵细胞的受精，尤指与不同男性发生性行为引起的 |
