编辑: 贵刊内容丰富,读后思维开阔,受益匪浅。在仔细阅读中发现了一个错误,提出供参考:2004年第2期77页“格言与幽默”中写到“Surgery is derived from the Latinchirugery meaning hard work…….”这里的hard work应为hand work。因为拉丁语chirugery的意思是“用手的工作”。故英文“外科”一词的意思应为“用手的工作”,而不是“努力工作”。 Edit: Your publication is rich in content, read after thinking open, benefit. In a careful reading found a mistake, made for reference: 2004 No. 2 page 77 “Maxims and Humor,” wrote “Surgery is derived from the Latinchirugery meaning hard work ......” Hard work here should be hand work . Because Latin chirugery means “work by hand.” Therefore, the word “surgery” in English should mean “work by hand” instead of “work hard”.
