释义

动词

患上带状疱疹。也称蛇串疮。

DEFINITION

Verb

To become infected with Herpes Zoster. Also known as “蛇串疮”.

由来
  • 源自福建话或潮州话的 seh zua，即直译为 “生蛇”。“生” 在此有患上疾病的意思。
  • 带状疱疹是一种影响人体神经和皮肤的疾病，红疹和水泡通常会从病患的腹部、背部或脸部开始蔓延。
  • 带状疱疹的病源与症状都和水痘相同。这些症状会令患者感到刺痛，即使是轻轻触碰也会疼痛不堪。
  • 有说法认为，由于患上此症的人身上的疱疹看起来像被一条蛇缠绕，因此俗称为 “生蛇”。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The term originated from the Hokkien or Teochew dialect term seh tsua, which was literally translated to “生蛇”. The character “生” here means to be afflicted with a disease.
  • Shingles is a disease that affects the nerves and skin. Rashes and blisters usually appear on the abdomen, back, or face, which spread to other parts of the body.
  • The causes and symptoms of shingles are similar to those of chickenpox. These symptoms can cause stabbing pain, with even the slightest touch causing extreme pain.
  • It is believed that the disease is colloquially known as “生蛇” (“蛇” means “snake”) as a person with shingles appears to be wrapped around by a snake.
例句

SAMPLE SENTENCE

相关资料

  • 根据一些传闻及偏方，若病患身上的 “蛇” 完全缠绕身体一圈，该名病患就会有生命危险。因此，他必须要用特定的偏方 “烧蛇头” 来铲除疱疹。
  • 然而，医学专家表示这皆是没有科学根据的传闻，因此呼吁患者仍需接受专业的治疗。

RELATED INFORMATION

  • According to folk rumours, if the “snake” wraps a complete circle around the patient’s body, the patient’s life will be in danger. Therefore, a specific folk remedy “烧蛇头” (meaning “burn the snake’s head”) must be used to eradicate the disease.
  • However, medical experts say that this rumour has no scientific basis and have urged patients to seek professional treatment instead.
