thrush (bird)
nPicture a small brown bird with dark spots down its chest, sitting high in a tree and repeating the same short phrase of song over and over. It is not a big bird, but the sound carries across a whole garden. Whatever else the word does, this singing bird is where it starts.
可以想成一隻褐色的小鳥，胸前一點一點的斑紋。牠站在樹梢，把同一段短短的旋律唱了又唱。身體不大，聲音卻很亮，整個花園都聽得到。這個「會唱歌的斑胸小鳥」的畫面，大概就是 thrush 的起點。
From the word’s history
The bird name goes back through Old English to a very old Indo-European word for this same bird, and it has close relatives in German, Latin and Russian. So the picture has stayed the same for a very long time.
這個鳥名可以從古英語一路往回追到印歐語詞根 *trosdos（鶇）。德文 Drossel、拉丁文 turdus、俄文 дрозд 都是同一條線上的親戚。幾千年下來，它指的一直是同一種鳥，畫面幾乎沒有移動過。

thrush · yeast infection
nA second, separate word that only looks the same. Here you can think of a warm, damp place on the body where a yeast that normally lives there quietly starts to grow too much, leaving white patches and a sore feeling.
這是一個剛好長得一樣的另一個字。可以想成身上某個又溫又濕的地方，本來安靜住在那裡的念珠菌忽然長得太多。結果就是一片白白的斑塊，加上又痛又癢的感覺。跟「鳥」的那個 thrush 大概沒有關係。
