-cide


* pesticide, 殺蟲劑
* weedicide, 除草劑
* spermicide, 殺精劑
* suicide, 自殺
* homicide, 他殺? 殺人, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/homicide

這幾個字都依循著相同的規則 xxx-i-cide === kill xxx
比較啟人疑竇的是 hom-i-cide === kill hom
home 指的是?

* human, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_killing
"""... Homicide – the act of killing of a person ("homo" being Latin for man ? ) """

* homo 指的是同類, https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060911065213AANyO7v
to kill other members of the same species,
也許將 homicide 翻譯作'人殺人'更貼近原字 ?

* chronocide, 殺時間

However, they recommend using a nonoxynol-9 lubricated condom over no condom at all.

unanimous 與記名投票

第一次看到這段話 以為 unanimous === un-animous === not anonymous
--> unanimous approval 可能指 記名投票表決通過
--> 大錯特錯 !


網搜才發現 unanimous 的發音是 /ju n'ae n.m.s/ 而非 /.n 'ae n.m.s/
意思則為 "無異議的, 全體一致的, ... "
unanimous approval 就是無異議通過, 與記名/匿名無關.

那麼 記名投票 與 匿名投票 的英文怎麼說呢?
