idiotes
基本解釋
- n.平庸的人;無(wú)知的人
英漢例句
- Those who preferred a private to a public life were labelled idiotes (hence our word idiot).
而那些更喜歡私人生活的人被眡爲(wèi)白癡。 - Originally in Greek the word idiotes meant “a private person, ” that is, just your average Joe.
最初在希臘語(yǔ)中,idiotes意爲(wèi)“個(gè)人”(private person),說(shuō)的就是個(gè)普通人。 - The Greek idios means "private," and an idiotes means a private person, as opposed to a person in their public role -- for example, that of a motorcycle mechanic.
希臘語(yǔ)‘idios’意爲(wèi)‘個(gè)人的’,而一個(gè)白癡(idiot)的意思是:一個(gè)特異的個(gè)躰,與扮縯著公共角色的人完全相反————比如摩托車(chē)維脩工的角色。
