Arabian means of Arabia — the peninsula —Arabian的意思是「阿拉伯半島的」,or of its people in an older, place-tied way.或是用比較老式、跟地方綁在一起的方式指「阿拉伯人的」。The set phrases are the ones to learn:要記住的是固定搭配:the Arabian Peninsula, the Arabian Desert, the Arabian Sea,the Arabian Peninsula阿拉伯半島、the Arabian Desert阿拉伯沙漠、the Arabian Sea阿拉伯海、the Arabian Nights (the old story collection),the Arabian Nights天方夜譚(那部古老的故事集),and the Arabian horse, a famous slim, fast breed.還有the Arabian horse阿拉伯馬,一種有名的、身形細長跑得快的馬種。
As a noun, an Arabian can mean that horse, or, less often now, a person from Arabia. Though actually, for people today we nearly always say Arab, not Arabian. Arabian feels a bit storybook or geographic: good for land, sea, horses and old tales; a little odd for a living neighbour.
As a noun, an Arabian can mean that horse,當名詞用的時候,an Arabian可以指那種馬,or, less often now, a person from Arabia.或是比較少見地指阿拉伯人。Though actually, for people today we nearly always say Arab, not Arabian.不過其實,現在講到人的時候,我們幾乎都說Arab,不說Arabian。Arabian feels a bit storybook or geographic:Arabian給人的感覺比較像故事書或地理用詞:good for land, sea, horses and old tales;用在土地、海、馬和古老故事上很合適;a little odd for a living neighbour.用在活生生的鄰居身上就有點怪。
Capital A. It is not the name of the language (that is Arabic).
Capital A.字首要大寫。It is not the name of the language它不是語言的名稱(that is Arabic).(語言叫Arabic)。
