Diabetes Mellitus 糖尿病
Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
  • blood sugar: 血糖
  • insulin: 胰島素
  • polyuria: 多尿
  • polydipsia: 多飲
  • polyphagia: 多食

Decimete 公寸
A decimetre (American spelling: decimeter, symbol dm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one tenth of a metre, (or ten centimetres) the SI base unit of length.
  • SI: 萬國公制 (法文 Système International d'Unités)
  • 需注意，公寸跟英寸是不一樣的
    • 英吋 = 2.54 cm
    • 公寸 = 10 cm

[已解決] zh或zh-tw, zh-cn是什麼的縮寫？

問：常見在很多網站的網址都會有zh-tw或zh-cn，雖然可以猜到zh-tw是指台灣正體中文、zh-cn是中國大陸簡體中文，但zh到底是什麼的縮寫呢？ 答：zh是 zh ong wen的縮寫，zhong wen就是「中文」的發音啦。 zh這麼常用其實也是有原因的，因為它是 ISO 639-1 中定義的代碼，既然是國際標準，當然大部分網站就會遵循囉！

背書的英文怎麼說（兩種不同的：背誦的背，以及保證的背）

背書有兩種 1. 背課文那種背 recite Cambridge字典 ：to say a piece of writing aloud from memory, or to publicly state a list of things 不過這個背是指記好了、開始「背出來」的背誦。 要指正在默背的動作的話，可以用memorize、rote（死背）、或prepare for recitation（較少用， 不過外國人很聰明應該聽得懂 ）。 2. 保證的背（源自在票據背後簽名） endorsement（異體字indorsement） 這是一個法律術語，指的是在票據上簽名，票據所規定之權利由背書人轉讓給被背書人。但也有衍生出保證、支持的意思，例如為候選人背書等。 照慣例 Cambridge字典的說明 ： the act of signing the back of a cheque, bill of exchange, etc. that has your name on it in order to give your permission for it to be paid to someone else a public statement made by someone saying that they approve of or support someone or something
