idiotes

基本解釋

Those who preferred a private to a public life were labelled idiotes (hence our word idiot).
而那些更喜歡私人生活的人被視為白癡。
Originally in Greek the word idiotes meant “a private person, ” that is, just your average Joe.
最初在希臘語(yǔ)中，idiotes意為“個(gè)人”（private person），說(shuō)的就是個(gè)普通人。
The Greek idios means "private," and an idiotes means a private person, as opposed to a person in their public role -- for example, that of a motorcycle mechanic.
希臘語(yǔ)‘idios’意為‘個(gè)人的’，而一個(gè)白癡（idiot）的意思是：一個(gè)特異的個(gè)體，與扮演著公共角色的人完全相反————比如摩托車維修工的角色。
