| 释义 | 〔cynic〕A cynic may be pardoned for thinking that this is a dog's life.The Greek wordkunikos, from which cynic comes, was originally an adjective meaning "doglike,” fromkuōn, "dog.” The word was most likely applied to the Cynic philosophers because of the nicknamekuōn given to Diogenes of Sinope, the prototypical Cynic. He is said to have performed such actions as barking in public, urinating on the leg of a table, and masturbating on the street.The first use of the word recorded in English, in a work published from 1547 to 1564, is in the plural for members of this philosophical sect.In 1596 we find the first instance ofcynic meaning "faultfinder,” a sense that was to develop into our modern sense.The meaning "faultfinder" came naturally from the behavior of countless Cynics who in their pursuit of virtue pointed out the flaws in others.Such faultfinding could lead quite naturally to the belief associated with cynics of today that selfishness determines human behavior.犬儒学派成员因认为这是狗的生命而可能被赦免。希腊词kunikos 是 cynic 的来源， 最初为形容词，意思是“似狗”，源自kuon “狗”，。 这个词最适用于犬儒派哲学家，因为给犬儒主义者的鼻祖的绰号是kuon 。 据说他曾经当众吼叫，在桌腿上小便，并且在街上手淫。这个词在一本1547到1564年出版的著作里首次用英语记录下来的用法是，用作复数来指代此哲学学派的成员。1596年，我们发现cynic 的第一个意思是吹毛求疵的人的例子， 也是发展成具有我们现代意义的含义。 “吹毛吹疵的人”这个意思是从无数个以追求指摘别人缺点为美德的犬儒主义者的行为而得来。这种指摘很自然地得出与现在的犬儒主义相联系的信仰，认为自私自利决定人类行为〔caste〕Any of numerous hereditary, endogamous social subclasses stratified according to Hindu ritual purity.种姓：根据印度教仪式的纯洁性划分的无数个世袭的、内部通婚的次等级之一〔gecko〕Any of various usually small tropical and subtropical lizards of the family Gekkonidae, having toes padded with setae containing numerous suction cups that enable them to climb on vertical surfaces.壁虎：品种繁多，通常是小体型的产于热带和亚热带的蜥蜴，属于壁虎科，足趾具有无数个吸盘，能使它们在垂直的表面上爬行〔caste〕Any of four classes, comprising numerous subclasses, constituting Hindu society.印度的世袭等级：构成印度社会的、由无数个次等级组成的四个社会等级之一〔nephron〕Any of the numerous filtering units of the vertebrate kidney that remove waste matter from the blood.肾单位：脊椎动物肾内能将废物从血液中清除的无数个能起过滤作用的单位的任何一个 |
