meiosis的词源解释,meiosis来源

meiosis(n.)

在生物学中,"细胞核的分裂",1905年,源自希腊词 meiosis "减少",源自 meioun "减少",源自 meion "较少",源自 PIE 词根 *mei- (2) "小"。

早在1580年代,它是一个修辞学术语,是一种修辞手法,用于用弱或负面的表达来代替积极而有力的表达,以使其更加强调,例如当一个人说"不错"时,实际上是指"非常好",或者说"我不介意"时,实际上是指"我真的很想要",或者像"马克·吐温"的这个例子:

"YOUNG AUTHOR." — Yes Agassiz does recommend authors to eat fish, because the phosphorus in it makes brains. So far you are correct. But I cannot help you to a decision about the amount you need to eat,—at least, not with certainty. If the specimen composition you send is about your fair usual average, I should judge that perhaps a couple of whales would be all you would want for the present. Not the largest kind, but simply good, middling-sized whales.
"年轻作家"——是的,阿加西斯 does 建议作家吃鱼,因为其中的磷可以增强大脑。到目前为止,你是正确的。但是关于你需要吃多少,我不能确定。如果你发送的样本构成大致是你的平均水平,我想也许一对鲸鱼就足够了。不是最大的那种,而是中等大小的鲸鱼。
