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〔castrato〕A male singer castrated before puberty so as to retain a soprano or alto voice.被阉割的男歌手:为了保持女高音或男高音那样的高音而在青春期前被阉割的男歌手〔it〕An animal that has been neutered:被阉割的动物:〔steer〕A young ox, especially one castrated before sexual maturity and raised for beef.食用牛:一种年轻公牛,尤指于性成熟前被阉割并食用的肉牛〔gelding〕A castrated animal, especially a male horse.阉割的动物,尤指被阉割的公马〔barrow〕A pig that has been castrated before reaching sexual maturity.阉猪:一头在达到性成熟之前就被阉割的猪 |
