喜樂美語
  1. 1n/bækˈtɪriə/ · /bækˈtɪəriə/細菌

    Very small living things that you can only see under a microscope; some kinds can make you sick, but many are helpful.

    「bacteria」指小到要用顯微鏡才看得到的微小生物，有些會讓人生病，有些其實對身體有幫助（像幫忙消化的）。要記住一個重點：bacteria 是複數形，一隻叫 bacterium，所以英文常說 bacteria are（用 are，不用 is）。跟 virus（病毒）不一樣，細菌是活的單細胞生物。

From the word’s history

From New Latin bacteria, plural of bactērium, from Ancient Greek baktḗrion 'little rod'.

新拉丁文 bactērium 的複數，源自希臘文 βακτήριον「小棍子」。

Wiktionary

One way to picture it: living things far too small for your eyes — millions of them on a , in the soil, inside your own body. A few kinds make people ill, but most just live there, and some are the reason yogurt, cheese and healthy work at all.

可以想成小到眼睛完全看不到的生物：一個門把上就有幾百萬個，土裡有、你身體裡也有。其中少數幾種會讓人生病，但大部分只是待在那裡，還有一些正是優格、起司和消化順利的功臣。所以 bacteria 本身不等於「髒東西」，它只是「細菌」這一類生物。
