我们知道自行车是bicycle,因为只有两个轮子,其中bi表示的是“二”,cycle表示的“圆圈”。
那三轮车和四轮车呢?
我们或许知道,会说两种语言的,称为bilingual. 双语学校就是bilingual school.
会说三种语言的,叫trilingual.
会说四种语言的,叫quadrilingual.
这儿的前缀bi-, tri-, quadri-就分别表示一、二、三这样,在学术、工程领域甚是常见。
比如,我们做工程技术的,经常需要把某一个零件切成两半、三半、四半这样,用英语来说,分别对应 bi-section, tri-section, quadri-section.
看英文报纸时常遇到:
- unilateral action 单边行动
- bilateral talks 双边会谈
- trilateral talks 三边会谈
- multilateral talks 多边会谈
再比如,
三角形是 triangle,拆开就是tri-angle.
四边形是quadrangle,拆开就是quadr-angle, 其中quadr和quadri很接近。
医生在开处方时,写药物的用法用量时都会写英文字母bid, tid, qid, 第一次见时,虽然不知道具体意思,但我可以猜到是什么意思。
这其中,d或许表达的是day.
bid中的b肯定是bi(其实是拉丁语bis),表达的就是一天两次。
tid中的t肯定是tri(其实是拉丁语ter),表达的就是一天三次。
qid中的q肯定是quadri(其实是拉丁语quarter),表达的就是一天四次。
工作中常有bi-weekly这种用法,比如,bi-weekly meeting. 但是这种用法,即便是对老外来讲,都很容易有歧义。它既可以指一周两次,也可以是两周一次,具体的就得看每个公司对它用法的定义了。
日常用语中,这些前缀最多用到“四”,再往后的五六七八等老外也记不得了,多是直接用基数词来表示,比如,朝核六方会谈,就直接用的six-party talks.
开头提到的三轮车和四轮车,查词典证实,果然是 tricycle和quadricycle.
当然,这些前缀只是较常用中的一种,还有很多其他表示数字的方法,可以参见维基百科。
