化生、转世
印度一男婴生来有四手四脚,当地人认为他是神灵转世,争相前往观看。请看本报引述《每日邮
报》的报道:
A baby boy born with four arms and four legs is causing panic in the streets of Baruipur, east India, as locals believe he is the reincarnation of a god, the Daily Mail reported.
Re-前缀是“再次”,例如repeat (重复), in-是动词前缀“使”,有时也写作en-,例如insure/ensure, carnal是“肉体的”,同词根的还有carnation (noun and adj., 肉色的、康乃馨)。报道中的reincarnation就是“化生、转世”,动词是reincarnate。例如:
Many African tribes believe in reincarnation.
许多非洲的部落相信人有来生。
