基本释义
[adjective] relating to the conditions that affect hygiene and health, especially the supply of sewage facilities and clean drinking water
[形容词] 与影响卫生和健康的条件有关的,特别是污水处理设施和清洁饮用水的供应条件
深入解读
Sanitary 一词源自拉丁语 sanitas (健康),1823年经法语 sanitaire (卫生的、公共卫生的;卫生设备的;救护的)进入英语后,也是用来表示“卫生的、公共卫生的、环境卫生的”,主要指与居住场所的影响卫生和健康的条件相关的,特别是污水处理设施和清洁饮用水的供应条件,比如:
- 卫生条件之差令人震惊。
Sanitary conditions are appalling. - 这间茅屋里没有厨具和卫生设施。
The hut had no cooking or sanitary facilities.
在这个概念下, sanitary 也可以用来形容某个地方“卫生的、清洁的、干净的”,比如:
- 让苍蝇飞近食物是不卫生的。
It’s not sanitary to let flies come near food.
等到了1881年后, sanitary 开始用在女性用品领域表示“月经期使用的”,比如:
- 卫生巾
sanitary pad/towel/napkin or menstrual pad - 月经带
sanitary belt
