 狗的馴化 canine domestication ● 字源 「canine」源自拉丁文 caninus，由 canis（狗）而來，可作形容詞「犬類的」，亦可指犬科動物。「domestication」源自拉丁文 domesticus（屬於家的），而它又來自 domus（房屋、家），指把野生動植物養成家養物種。「genome」由 gene（基因）與 -ome（整體）組成，指一個生物的全部遺傳資訊。 ● 例句 Only after ancient genomes recovered from Siberian, European and Near Eastern sites, which had lain buried for millennia in permafrost and caves, were compared with those of living wolves did researchers, whose earlier reliance on skeletal morphology, a method that, as critics have long noted, cannot reliably separate early dogs from tame wolves, had produced rival chronologies, begin to suspect that domestication, which unfolded gradually rather than at a single moment, may have involved wolf populations that, whether by scavenging near camps or by being tolerated by hunters, drifted toward human company well before anyone intended to breed them. （約 99 字） ● 排列為比較容易閱讀的方式 Only after ancient genomes recovered from Siberian, European and Near Eastern sites, which had lain buried for...

越南人與廣東人吃貓肉的争議 controversial issue over eating cat meat by Vietnamese and Cantonese  ● 字源 「controversy」源自拉丁文 controversia（contra 相對 + versus 轉向，意指彼此對立），指長期未決的公共爭論。「issue」經古法文 issue 源自拉丁文 exitus（出口、流出），引申為「爭議所在的議題」。「cat」源自晚期拉丁文 cattus。「Cantonese」指廣東（Canton）人或其語言，廣東在中國漢語拼音是 Guangdong 。「Vietnamese」指越南人。 ● 例句 Seldom have defenders of cat meat in northern Vietnam and Guangdong, whose custom, which many elderly villagers describe as a winter tonic rather than a taboo, persists mainly in rural districts and among older diners, managed to rebut the charge that the trade, which investigators have tied to stolen pets, unregulated slaughter and poor hygiene, spreads rabies, a risk that, as surveys among younger urban residents in both regions suggest, has made the practice appear less a heritage than a cruelty that most people, however tolerant of other customs, no longer feel obliged to excuse. （約 95 字） ● 排列為比較容易閱讀的方式 Seldom have defenders of cat meat in northern Vietnam and Guangdong, whose ...

 對中國廣西玉林狗肉節的支持與反對（Arguments for and Against the Dog Meat Festival in Yulin, Guangxi） ● 字源 「festival」源自拉丁文 festivus（節慶的、歡樂的），經古法文 festival 進入英文，指定期舉行的慶典。「argument」源自拉丁文 arguere（闡明、證明），再加名詞詞尾 -ment，指為支持或反對某立場而提出的理由。「Yulin」為廣西壯族自治區之地級市玉林，其每年夏至前後舉行的狗肉節長期引發國內外爭論。 ● 例句 Not only did advocates of the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, whose defenders, though a shrinking minority even within Guangxi, insist that a custom which vendors describe as seasonal and communal deserves tolerance, argue that critics, who rarely object to the slaughter of pigs or cattle, apply an inconsistent standard rooted in cultural condescension, but opponents, whose objections, as surveys conducted across China suggest, are shared by most citizens, also contended that the trade, which investigators have linked to stolen pets and inadequate quarantine, endangers public health, a concern that, however sincerely raised, has seldom persuaded those who regard the festival as heritage rather than commerce. （約 100 字） ● 排列為比較容易閱讀...

 食貓（Ailurophagy） ● 字源 「ailurophagy」源自希臘文 ailouros（貓）加 phagein（吃），再加名詞詞尾 -y，意為「食用貓肉的習俗」。同類構詞有 cynophagy（食犬）、anthropophagy（食人）、entomophagy（食蟲）。 ● 例句 Although ailurophagy, which historians trace to periods of famine rather than to settled culinary tradition, has seldom been documented as a routine practice, scholars who study food taboos, whose fieldwork often relies on testimonies that, once cross-checked against archival records, prove unreliable, caution that claims which portray whole communities as cat-eaters, however vivid, usually reflect prejudice more than evidence. （約 80 字） ● 排列為比較容易閱讀的方式 Although ailurophagy, which historians trace to periods of famine rather than to settled culinary tradition, has seldom been documented as a routine practice, scholars who study food taboos, whose fieldwork often relies on testimonies that, once cross-checked against archival records, prove unreliable, caution that claims which portray whole communities as cat-eaters, however vivid, usually...
