    The clitoris is a small, very sensitive part of a woman's external sex organs陰蒂是女性外生殖器裡一個很小、非常敏感的部位。For most women it is the main place that can bring sexual pleasure when it is touched with care對大部分女性來說,小心碰觸時它是帶來性愉悅的主要部位。

    The bit you can see is only the glans — a small bud of tissue at the top of the inner folds of skin, where the meet. Though actually the whole organ is larger than that visible tip: inside the body it continues as tissue that wraps around the vagina, which is why it is not “just a button on the surface”.

    The bit you can see is only the glans你看得到的部分只是glans(龜頭狀的頂端)——a small bud of tissue at the top of the inner folds of skin也就是內側皮褶上方一小顆組織凸起,where the labia meet就在陰唇交會的地方。Though actually不過老實說,the whole organ is larger than that visible tip整個器官其實比看得到的那一小塊大得多:inside the body it continues as tissue that wraps around the vagina在身體裡面它延伸成包住陰道的組織,which is why it is not "just a button on the surface"這也是為什麼它不是「表面上的一顆按鈕」而已。

    It is a normal body part, like an or a ; there is nothing rude about the word in a health or science class, though people may lower their voice in casual talk because sex is private. In everyday English some people avoid the word and speak vaguely; in doctor’s English and in good sex education, clitoris is the clear name.

    It is a normal body part它是一個正常的身體部位,like an eyelid or a kneecap就像眼皮或膝蓋一樣;there is nothing rude about the word in a health or science class在健康或科學課上講這個字並不粗俗,though people may lower their voice in casual talk because sex is private不過平常聊天時大家可能會壓低音量,因為性是私事。In everyday English some people avoid the word and speak vaguely在日常英文裡有些人會避開這個字,講得比較含糊;in doctor's English and in good sex education, clitoris is the clear name但在醫生用語和好的性教育裡,clitoris就是明確的用詞。

    It is not the vagina (the canal inside) and not the (the whole outer area).

    It is not the vagina (the canal inside)它不是vagina陰道(裡面的通道),and not the vulva (the whole outer area)也不是vulva外陰(整個外部區域)。

組成English took it from a Latin medical form clitoris in the 1500s, and that came from Greek kleitoris. Scholars think the Greek is tied to a verb meaning to sheathe or shut, because this part sits covered by small folds of skin. A related Greek noun could also mean a key or latch — the old wooden peg used to close a door. Some older medical books offer a different Greek story about tickling; that one is much less sure, so it is better left aside.
