ton vs tonne

//=== https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton

ton vs tonne


Where confusion is possible, the 2240 lb ton is called "long ton" and the 2000 lb ton "short ton";

the tonne is distinguished by its spelling, but usually pronounced the same as ton,
hence the US term "metric ton".

In the UK the final "e" of "tonne" can also be pronounced (/ˈtʌnɪ/), or "metric ton" when it is necessary to make the distinction.


Ton is derived from the tun, the term applied to a cask of the largest size.
This could contain a volume between 175 and 213 imperial gallons (210 and 256 US gal; 800 and 970 l), which could weigh around 2,000 pounds (910 kg) and occupy some 60 cubic feet (1.7 m^3) of space.

The origin for the word ton comes from ancient Greek θύννος (thúnnos, tuna fish).




In the United Kingdom the ton is defined as 2,240 avoirdupois pounds (1,016 kg).

This is equivalent to 20 hundredweight, a hundredweight being eight stone, and a stone weighing 14 pounds.

From 1965 the UK embarked upon a programme of metrication and gradually introduced metric units,
including the tonne (metric ton), defined as 1000 kg (2,204.6 lb).



In the United States and formerly Canada[4] a ton is defined to be 2,000 pounds (907 kg).





//=== https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8B%B1%E5%99%B8


英噸(ton)或噸是英制單位,使用地區主要為英國、美國與一些英联邦國家。其和公吨(tonne或metricton)有所區別。

廣義的英噸又可分為長噸(long ton)和短噸(short ton)。
長噸:在英國較為常用,為狹義的「英噸」,在英國常直接稱為「噸」(ton)。
短噸:在美國較為常用,又稱「美噸」



單位換算[编辑]
1長噸 = 2,240磅。
1短噸 = 2,000磅。
公制換算1長噸 = 1.0160469088公吨 = 1016.0469088公斤;和公吨只差不到2%。
1短噸 = 0.90718474公吨 = 907.18474公斤。

槓龜的英文

//=== https://christabelle.idv.tw/archives/264
...
「槓龜」一詞,是源自於日文的發音,而日文是取英文中的 skunk 一詞來的。
...借用外來字,如果是單一子音,一定會為這個子音再配上一個母音,以符合日文本身的語音規則。
也就是說, skunk這個字,會發成類似「斯共苦」的音,
進入台語之後,可能因為「斯」的音弱化了,
就變成「共苦」,也就是「槓龜」一詞的台語發音了。

...
skunk,如果去查字典就知道,叫做「臭鼬」,
也有另一個意思:「壓倒性的勝利(相差30分為一個skunk)」。
也就是說,另一方慘敗,大失敗,就是槓龜了。

...

//=== http://blog.xuite.net/water0289281566/twblog/122032391
...
最合音義和歷史淵源的是正確寫法為「貢龜」,而非「槓龜」。 貢龜的白話有二義:一是進貢烏龜,另一是貢品烏龜,前者為動詞用法,後者為名詞用法。

因為是要進貢給皇帝的,豈是等閒之物。一旦貢上,便有去無回。收貢者囊袋飽飽,進貢者卻兩手空空。用在賭博上就如贏者與輸者之寫照。
...
殷墟龜甲殘片偶猶可見「某某貢龜十隻」,「某某貢龜一千」的契刻誌文,由此可證貢龜一詞由來已久,且有歷史的典故。

...

閩南語有一句俏皮話(又名歇後語)說「上帝爺博輸筊─當龜」,
因為其由來已久,且散播範圍徧及全省,但知道其出典者不多,值得做個探討。

在臺灣光復之初,有一本臺南市聞人許丙丁先生所撰寫的<小封神>,
曾經風行一時...

書中一開頭,即敘述「當龜」之事,而又跟賭博有關。
閩南語俗稱「賭博」為「博筊(ㄅㄨㄚ上去 ㄍㄧㄠ\)」
(按:以「桮筊」請示神意的行為稱作「卜桮」,
<石林燕語>:「高辛廟有竹桮筊,以一俯一仰為聖筊。」

「筊桮」又音轉為「摴(ㄕㄨ)蒱」,倒裝為「
博戲」;「摴(ㄊㄨ)蒱」音叶「賭博」,
閩南語謂「聖筊」曰「祥桮」,
故「卜筊」應為「博筊(蒱摴)」一語的源頭,而為「卜桮筊」的簡稱),

傳說上帝爺足踏龜、蛇,
... 玄天上帝某日到街上閒逛,被慫恿參加街頭聚賭,
賭輸了沒錢還,逼不得已,只好連「龜」也拿去當舖抵押了!

作者「當龜」的靈感應來自於「當鍋」,在生活水
平較差、物資普遍缺乏的年代裏,一個人若賭輸得很慘
的話,是有可能連家中的「鍋子」也拿出去「當」掉的,
...

「當龜」實即「尻(ㄉㄥ\ ㄍㄨ)」之諧音,
當某人不小心滑倒跌坐地上,或參與競賽鎩羽而歸時,
也常被嘲以「上帝爺(公)博輸局─尻」!


<說文>:「???,髀也。徐曰:從丌、從几,皆所以居止也。」
<增韻>:「尻,脊骨盡處。」
閩南語謂「臀部」為「尻髀(ㄎㄚ下去 ㄘ
ㄥ下去 ㄆㄝ\)」,又引申臀部跌坐地面曰「」。
<集韻>:「或作臀;,與髀同,股也。」
臀部俗稱「股」或「股」,時下多誤作「屁股」。
閩南語「尻」又音近「踞(ㄍㄨ)」、「杌(ㄎㄨ下入,木無枝也)」、
「俯(ㄎㄨ下平)」,人頹喪失意(杌)時往往俯首蹲踞。

時下又流行把「鎩羽而歸」稱做「鬨(ㄍㄛㄥ\)尻」,
但多寫成「槓龜」,
據報載就有人在賭輸了六合彩之餘,果真買來了烏龜一頓亂棍予以擊斃,
以為如此做可以去掉霉運。

由於「攩」又<唐韻,集韻>並:「胡曠切」黃去聲,搥打也,或作撗,
故起初以為是「尻」音訛為「攩尻」,而義同「鬨尻」;
但冷靜一想,則其要傳達的本義不過就是「光棍」,
身上的幾個錢既輸光了,不是剩下「雙腳夾一粒葩」嗎!

此外,若輸贏正好扯平,或前債已然償還,兩造互不相欠則每說「無絓」,
偏偏這句話又正好跟「烏龜」同音;

烏龜...其行動上的蘑菇、延擱,
故閩南語形容不爽利之人讀如「龜毛(佝)」;
俚俗又謂以妻女供人奸淫者曰「烏龜」,音叶「污閨」故也!

聖經的英文- claim

John 14:30 , chapter 14, verse 30

... the ruler of the world is coming, he has no claim on me.


allegiance /al'i:dzh.ns/
accusatory /ak'yoo z.tori/

//=== http://www.dictionary.com/browse/allegiance

noun
1. the loyalty of a citizen to his or her government or of a subject to his or her sovereign.
2. loyalty or devotion to some person, group, cause, or the like.


//=== http://www.johnpiippo.com/2009/11/why-prinice-of-this-world-had-no-hold.html
...

The prince of this world” is kingdom-language. It’s two-kingdom theology.
Jesus was a two-kingdom theologian.
The kingdom-bifurcation goes like this:
- kingdom of God or
- kingdom of satan,

- kingdom of heaven or
- kingdom of earth;

- kingdom of light or
- kingdom of darkness.

To Jesus, persons give allegiance to one of these two kingdoms.

The Jesus-movement is a rescue mission to save (“sozo”) persons out of the kingdom of darkness
and deliver them into the kingdom of light.

The real King is Jesus himself, and his kingdom is “not of this world.”
It’s an upside-down kingdom that inverts the prevailing, oppressive social hierarchy.

The word “sin” is defined in terms of these two kingdoms.

“Sin” is essentially non-love for the real King, and thus rebellion against God.
Every act of sin is an act of allegiance to the prince of this world; aka satan, our adversary.

When Jesus says that the prince of this world has no hold on him,
the Greek words contain a double negative that literally reads,
“This world’s ruler does not have anything on me at all.”

This is legal language, prosecuting attorney accusatory-language.
Jesus tells his disciples that he is “not guilty.” Of what? Of lovelessness and rebellion; viz., of sin.

Satan’s non-claim on Jesus proves his love for the Father.

Jesus’ thorough, total love for the Father results in him, in every detail,
doing exactly as his Father commands.

In Jesus the Son there is not one slight whiff of rebellion, not one moment of un-love.

For this reason, and this reason alone, satan has no claim on Jesus.

Jesus does not deserve the cross. But he goes to the cross out of perfect obedience to the Father,
and out of his love for you and for me.

N, L 發音 與 齒顎

//=== https://www.zhihu.com/question/20499563
如何区分普通话中「n」和「l」的发音?
人的语音识别能力在出生一个月之後就从区分全部音素的能力迅速衰减, 只识别母语音素了, 其他相似音素都会被大脑自动合并. 因此, 在你的母语里n/l是同一个音位, 母语里区分它们并不能区别语义, 你的大脑自动就忽略了他们的差别, 自然就听不出, 也就说不准。。。

。。。

用舌位区分。
n音和l音的本质区别在于一个进鼻子一个不进鼻子
。。。
说个小技巧。发音时把鼻子捏住(完全不让出气)然后发音,n是发不出来的,感觉像被堵住了,。。。
l可以发的轻松随意,它的气流通过口腔。

。。。

齒齦(牙齦) :牙齒和肉交界的地方
齒顎 == 顎 == 硬顎 == 硬腭?
??? 軟顎 == 軟腭

上齒顎 : 上牙齦往上硬部
?? 下齒顎 : 下牙齦往下硬部

n、l同属舌尖中阻,他们所不同的是发音方法的不同。
发n时,舌尖抵住上齿背,气流从鼻腔透出。
发l时,舌尖抵住上齿龈,气流从两边透出。


//===
作者:fangfang纪
链接:https://www.zhihu.com/question/20499563/answer/148051152

。。。
发音时,气流受到阻碍的位置叫做发音部位,
根据声母发音部位的不同细分下来声母有七大类。(之前我们已经分享过“唇齿阻”、“舌根阻”、“舌尖后阻”)
首先,我们需要知道一点,声母的发音过程其实就是形成阻碍到消除阻碍的过程!
【n/l 发音的原理】在普通话专业教学中,声母 n/l
根据气流受到阻碍的位置将这两个音归为“舌尖中阻”。
舌尖中阻的发音就是由“舌尖”和“中”构成的
~关于“舌尖”的概念大家都知道,“中”的概念该怎么理解?

。。。
“舌尖后阻”zh、ch、sh的发音原理是舌体稍向后缩,舌尖向上翘起,接触或者接近硬腭前端构成阻碍之后发出一种辅音。
有了对“后”(硬腭前端)的理解,我们再来看一下“中”的位置,

“中”的位置是口腔中的上齿龈

所以构成舌尖中阻 n/l 的发音位置是 舌尖和上齿龈
n的发音原理:发音时,声带颤动;
- 成阻时舌尖抵住上齿龈;气流不能从口腔中流出;
- 除阻时软腭下降,打开鼻腔通路,使带音的气流从鼻腔通过,发鼻音。

l的发音原理:发音时,声带颤动;
- 成阻时,舌尖抵住上齿龈;软腭上升,堵塞鼻腔通路。
- 除阻时,气流从舌头两边流出,发边音l



//=== https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%BD%AF%E9%A2%9A
软颚或者软腭(医学拉丁语术语:Velum palatinum或Palatum molle)是哺乳动物中硬腭延长形成的一个双褶皱形状的口腔部分。它斜挂在或者垂直挂在舌根上方,是由咽腭肌和其它肌肉的延伸组成的。它是分隔口腔与咽的组织的一部分,因此有分隔呼吸系统与消化系统的作用。

口腔的屋頂:上顎分為硬顎和軟顎。硬顎區域的底部是由骨骼支撐,其上覆蓋一層相當厚度的軟組織,
表面的黏膜都是厚的角化上皮組織,顏色呈淺粉紅色。
至於靠近咽喉處的軟顎,則是非角化複層鱗狀上皮,厚度較薄,
由於上皮下方豐富的血管和腺體,使軟顎看來顏色呈深紅色。


。。。
口腔的地板:口底和舌頭中線間由一鐮刀狀皺摺相連,稱為舌繫帶,它會往前延伸至下顎齒槽突止。
在舌下舌繫帶左右兩側位置,有兩個隆突稱為舌下肉阜,它們是唾液腺中的顎下腺及舌下腺管通往口腔的開口。

超級靈活的舌頭本身是一個肌肉器官,分別由縱向、垂直和橫向肌肉束組成。

The flu and a cold aren't the same thing.

The flu is a virus, if you get the influenza virus you got the flu.

You can get a cold because you caught cold weather or because of temperature differences.

The flu is much worse than a cold, if you get the flu you usually get a temperature, your back, your head and everything else hurts, sometimes you throw up, you can't eat and so on. A cold is simply sneezing and coughing.

//=== The Feast of Unleavened Bread vs The Feast of Passover

http://www1.cbn.com/biblestudy/the-feast-of-unleavened-bread...-wait-isn%27t-it-passover%3F
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a feast that is generally mistaken for Passover.
Passover however is only one 24 hour period while
Feast of Unleavened Bread lasts for seven days.

On the evening after Passover God told the Hebrew people exiting Egypt not to allow their bread to rise, but to grab everything and leave.

The Feast of Booths (known to some as the Feast of Tabernacles) is
the seventh and last festival on the biblical calendar, as recorded in Leviticus 23.

Also known as Sukkot in Hebrew, God wanted the Israelites to observe this festival by living in temporary shelters for seven days as a reminder that when their ancestors were in the wilderness, God provided them booths to dwell in.

Manna /ma'en./

bread without yeast,
unleavened bread

barley loaf
fish

blood of life
bread of life





//=== https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna
Manna (Hebrew: מָן‎‎) or al-Mann (Arabic: المَنّ ‎‎, Kurdish: gezo‎, Persian: گزانگبین‎‎),
sometimes or archaically spelled mana,
is an edible substance which, according to the Bible and the Quran,

God provided for the Israelites during their travels in the desert
during the forty-year period following the Exodus and prior to the conquest of Canaan.

...

In the Hebrew Bible, manna is described twice: once in Exodus 16:1-36 with the full narrative surrounding it, and once again in Numbers 11:1-9 as a part of a separate narrative.

...
in the Book of Exodus, manna is described as being "a fine, flake-like thing" like the frost on the ground.
...
It is described in the Book of Numbers as arriving with the dew during the night.

...
Exodus adds that manna was comparable to hoarfrost in size,
similarly had to be collected before it was melted by the heat of the sun,
and was like a coriander seed that is white.

...
Numbers describes it as having the appearance of bdellium,
adding that the Israelites ground it and pounded it into cakes, which were then baked, resulting in something that tasted like cakes baked with oil.

...
Exodus states that raw manna tasted like wafers that had been made with honey.

...
Exodus 16:23-24 states:

This is what the Lord commanded: "Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning." So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it.

...
At the turn of the twentieth century, Arabs of the Sinai Peninsula were selling resin from the tamarisk tree as man es-simma, roughly meaning "heavenly manna".

...
Tamarisk trees (particularly Tamarix gallica) were once comparatively extensive
throughout the southern Sinai, and their resin is similar to wax,
melts in the sun, is sweet and aromatic (like honey), and has a dirty-yellow color,
fitting somewhat with the Biblical descriptions of manna.

However, this resin is mostly composed of sugar, so it would be unlikely to provide
sufficient nutrition for a population to survive over long periods of time,
...

Man is possibly cognate with the Arabic term man, meaning plant lice,
with man hu thus meaning "this is plant lice",
which fits one widespread modern identification of manna,
the crystallized honeydew of certain scale insects.

In the environment of a desert, such honeydew rapidly dries due to
evaporation of its water content, becoming a sticky solid, and
later turning whitish, yellowish, or brownish;

honeydew of this form is considered a delicacy in the Middle East, and
is a good source of carbohydrates.
In particular, there is a scale insect that feeds on tamarisk,
the Tamarisk manna scale (Trabutina mannipara), which is often considered to be
the prime candidate for biblical manna.

Skate began to appear in print in the US at the end of the nineteenth century, almost simultaneously meaning a worn-out horse, a mean or contemptible person, and a second-rate sportsman (later, in the Royal Navy, according to Eric Partridge, it became a slang term for a troublesome rating). Cheap was added early on to refer to a person’s tight-fisted nature rather than any of his other perceived inadequacies. An early example appeared in the Newark Daily Advocate of Ohio in 1896 in a story about a streetcar motorman who was remonstrating with a driver of a coal wagon: “You’re a gol dinged, insignificant, pusillanimous, ragged, cheap skate of a tenth assistant barnyard corporal.”

4 | (Now the Jewish feast of the Passover was near.)


5 | Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?”


6 | (Now Jesus said this to test him, for he knew what he was going to do.)


7 | Philip replied, “Two hundred silver coins worth of bread would not be enough for them, for each one to get a little.”


8 | One of Jesus’ disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,


9 | “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?”


10 | Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.


11 | Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.


12 | When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted.”


13 | So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by the people who had eaten.


14 | Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”


15 | Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.


16 | Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,


17 | got into a boat, and started to cross the lake to Capernaum. (It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.)


18 | By now a strong wind was blowing and the sea was getting rough.


19 | Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they caught sight of Jesus walking on the lake, approaching the boat, and they were frightened.


20 | But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”


21 | Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land where they had been heading.


22 | The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one small boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.


23 | But some boats from Tiberias came to shore near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.


24 | So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus.


25 | When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”


26 | Jesus replied, “I tell you the solemn truth, you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted.


27 | Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”


28 | So then they said to him, “What must we do to accomplish the deeds God requires?”


29 | Jesus replied, “This is the deed God requires – to believe in the one whom he sent.”


30 | So they said to him, “Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?


31 | Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”


32 | Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.


33 | For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”


34 | So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time!”


35 | Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty.


36 | But I told you that you have seen me and still do not believe.


37 | Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.


38 | For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.


39 | Now this is the will of the one who sent me – that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.


40 | For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”


41 | Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”


42 | and they said, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”


43 | Jesus replied, “Do not complain about me to one another.


44 | No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.


45 | It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.


46 | (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God – he has seen the Father.)


47 | I tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes has eternal life.


48 | I am the bread of life.


49 | Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.


50 | This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.


51 | I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”


52 | Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”


53 | Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.


54 | The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.


55 | For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.


56 | The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.


57 | Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.


58 | This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”


59 | Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.


60 | Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things, said, “This is a difficult saying! Who can understand it?”


61 | When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended?


62 | Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?


63 | The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.


64 | But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had already known from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)


65 | So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.”


66 | After this many of his disciples quit following him and did not accompany him any longer.


67 | So Jesus said to the twelve, “You don’t want to go away too, do you?”


68 | Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.


69 | We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God!”


70 | Jesus replied, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?”


71 | (Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.)

20:
2 “I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water below.
5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, responding to the transgression of fathers by dealing with children to the third and fourth generations of those who reject me,
6 and showing covenant faithfulness to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold guiltless anyone who takes his name in vain.

8 “Remember the Sabbath day to set it apart as holy.
9 For six days you may labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your cattle, or the resident foreigner who is in your gates.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, and he rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.

12 “Honor your father and your mother, that you may live a long time in the land the Lord your God is giving to you.

13 “You shall not murder.

14 “You shall not commit adultery.

Deuteronomy 5:

http://labs.bible.org/api/?passage=Deuteronomy+5:6-21

6 “I am the Lord your God, he who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the place of slavery.

7 You must not have any other gods besides me.

8 You must not make for yourself an image of anything in heaven above, on earth below, or in the waters beneath.
9 You must not worship or serve them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I punish the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons for the sin of the fathers who reject me,

10 but I show covenant faithfulness to the thousands who choose me and keep my commandments.

11 You must not make use of the name of the Lord your God for worthless purposes, for the Lord will not exonerate anyone who abuses his name that way.


12 Be careful to observe the Sabbath day just as the Lord your God has commanded you.
13 You are to work and do all your tasks in six days,
14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.
15 Recall that you were slaves in the land of Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there by strength and power. That is why the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.



16 Honor your father and your mother just as the Lord your God has commanded you to do, so that your days may be extended and that it may go well with you in the land that he is about to give you.

//=== Exodus 34:10-27
http://labs.bible.org/api/?passage=Exodus+34:10-27

34:
10 He said, “See, I am going to make a covenant before all your people. I will do wonders such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing with you.

11 “Obey what I am commanding you this day. I am going to drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it become a snare among you.
13 Rather you must destroy their altars, smash their images, and cut down their Asherah poles.

14 For you must not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

15 Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and someone invites you, you will eat from his sacrifice;
16 and you then take his daughters for your sons, and when his daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons prostitute themselves to their gods as well.

17 You must not make yourselves molten gods.

18 “You must keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you; do this at the appointed time of the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.

19 “Every firstborn of the womb belongs to me, even every firstborn of your cattle that is a male, whether ox or sheep.

20 Now the firstling of a donkey you may redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. “No one will appear before me empty-handed.

21 “On six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you must rest; even at the time of plowing and of harvest you are to rest.

22 “You must observe the Feast of Weeks – the firstfruits of the harvest of wheat – and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year.

23 At three times in the year all your men must appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.

24 For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.

25 “You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with yeast; the sacrifice from the feast of Passover must not remain until the following morning.

26 “The first of the firstfruits of your soil you must bring to the house of the Lord your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

27 The Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

出埃及記 34:10-27
耶和華說、我要立約、要在百姓面前行奇妙的事、是在遍地萬國中所未曾行的.在你四圍的外邦人、就要看見耶和華的作為、因我向你所行的是可畏懼的事。
我今天所吩咐你的、你要謹守.我要從你面前攆出亞摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人。
你要謹慎、不可與你所去那地的居民立約、恐怕成為你們中間的網羅。
卻要拆毀他們的祭壇、打碎他們的柱像、砍下他們的木偶。
不可敬拜別神、因為耶和華是忌邪的 神、名為忌邪者。
只怕你與那地的居民立約、百姓隨從他們的神、就行邪淫、祭祀他們的神、有人叫你、你便吃他的祭物、
又為你的兒子娶他們的女兒為妻、他們的女兒隨從他們的神就行邪淫、使你的兒子也隨從他們的神行邪淫。
不可為自己鑄造神像。
你要守除酵節、照我所吩咐你的、在亞筆月內所定的日期、吃無酵餅七天、因為你是這亞筆月內出了埃及。
凡頭生的都是我的、一切牲畜頭生的、無論是牛是羊、公的都是我的。
頭生的驢、要用羊羔代贖、若不代贖、就要打折他的頸項。凡頭生的兒子都要贖出來。誰也不可空手朝見我。
你六日要作工、第七日要安息、雖在耕種收割的時候、也要安息。
在收割初熟麥子的時候、要守七七節.又在年底要守收藏節。
你們一切男丁、要一年三次朝見主耶和華以色列的 神。
我要從你面前趕出外邦人、擴張你的境界.你一年三次上去朝見耶和華你 神的時候、必沒有人貪慕你的地土。
你不可將我祭物的血、和有酵的餅、一同獻上.逾越節的祭物、也不可留到早晨。
地裏首先初熟之物、要送到耶和華你 神的殿。不可用山羊羔母的奶、煮山羊羔。




//=== https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments
Traditions:

LXX: Septuagint, generally followed by Orthodox Christians.
P: Philo, same as the Septuagint, but with the prohibitions on killing and adultery reversed.
S: Samaritan Pentateuch, with an additional commandment about Mount Gerizim as 10th.
T: Jewish Talmud, makes the "prologue" the first "saying" or "matter" and combines the prohibition on worshiping deities other than Yahweh with the prohibition on idolatry.
A: Augustine follows the Talmud in combining verses 3–6, but omits the prologue as a commandment and divides the prohibition on coveting in two and following the word order of Deuteronomy 5:21 rather than Exodus 20:17.
C: Catechism of the Catholic Church, largely follows Augustine.
L: Lutherans follow Luther's Large Catechism, which follows Augustine but omits the prohibition of images[27] and uses the word order of Exodus 20:17 rather than Deuteronomy 5:21 for the ninth and tenth commandments.
R: Reformed Christians follow John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, which follows the Septuagint; this system is also used in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.[28]

Name, Bobby

//=== http://www.thenamemeaning.com/bobby/
...

in most countries all over the world the name Bobby is a unisex name, used as a boy name and a girl name.

The name Bobby is of French, Germanic origins, which means it has more than one root, and is used mostly in English speaking countries but also in a few other countries and languages of the world.

If you consider naming your baby Bobby we recommend you take note of the special meaning and history of the name as your baby’s name will play a big role in its life and your baby will hear it spoken every day. Searching for a name is a very important and fun process as it’s the very first gift you will give to your baby. Many people believe that the name can affect success in life, through their children's working career and other circumstances, so they choose more “respectable” names or name meanings as they believe that the name meaning reflects the personality of the child.

...
The meaning of Bobby is “Bright fame”.
Keep in mind that many names may have different meanings in other countries and languages, so be careful that the name that you choose doesn’t mean something bad or unpleasant.

澱粉 的英文

//=== http://dict.site/%E6%BE%B1%E7%B2%89.html

澱粉: starch; amylum; farina; amylon; maizena

(用澱粉製成的粉條或粉絲) noodles or vermicelli made from bean/potato



//=== https://www.nutrinote.co/2015/08/19/%E6%BE%B1%E7%B2%89%E9%A3%9F%E7%89%A9%E5%90%83%E4%B8%8B%E8%82%9A%E5%BE%8C%E7%99%BC%E7%94%9F%E4%BB%80%E9%BA%BC%E4%BA%8B%E6%83%85%EF%BC%9F%EF%BC%882%EF%BC%89/
...
含有澱粉的食物:

農作物:稻米、綠豆、紅豆、馬鈴薯、地瓜、玉米、小麥、燕麥、大麥、薏仁…
食材:麵粉、麵條、米、糙米、義大利麵…
食物:麵包、薯條、包子饅頭、碗糕、米糕、發糕、餅乾、蛋糕、炸物的裹粉、蘿蔔糕、洋芋片..
上面列出一些常見的項目,你可以發現想從飲食中杜絕澱粉會是一件滿辛苦的事情。
...


升糖指數是個跟糖與含澱粉食物有密切關係的數值,它是用來衡量人在吃下某種食物後,血糖上升的情形,升糖指數越高的食物血糖就會上升的比較快;反之,就會上升的比較慢。有個比較簡單的理解概念「升糖指數反應食物的消化速度,數值越高越好消化。」

一般來說,越是精製的食物,如果白米、白麵條,升糖指數高;反之,較低。

...

用餐時以菜肉飯的順序就能延緩血糖的上升,這其實就是利用膳食纖維的特性與混和食物的阻礙來延緩澱粉消化與吸收的概念。
...



//=== https://www.nutrinote.co/2015/09/02/%E6%BE%B1%E7%B2%89%E9%A3%9F%E7%89%A9%E5%90%83%E4%B8%8B%E8%82%9A%E5%BE%8C%E7%99%BC%E7%94%9F%E4%BB%80%E9%BA%BC%E4%BA%8B%E6%83%85%EF%BC%9F%EF%BC%883%EF%BC%89/

...
並不是所有的澱粉我們都消化得了,澱粉食物在小腸裡面經過消化後最後會出現兩種命運:

變成葡萄糖:可以被消化的澱粉或糊精,最後會被消化分解成單醣的葡萄糖
抗性澱粉 or 糊精:有時候澱粉食物會出現人體酵素沒辦法消化的連結,也就是抵抗消化的澱粉或糊精,它們就沒辦法被分解成葡萄糖供人體利用。
抗性澱粉(糊精):有些植物的澱粉結構比較特別或是食物經過加熱後冷卻都有可能會讓食物出現抵抗消化的抗性澱粉,像是壽司飯、義大利麵… 等。一樣是白米飯,做成壽司飯後升糖指數就會下降。

醣類 == 碳水化合物 的英文

醣類 的英文 == 碳水化合物
xxx carbonhydrate
--> carbohydrate

https://market.cloud.edu.tw/content/junior/bio/tc_wc/textbook/ch02/supply2-0-6.htm
多數的醣類,其氫、氧之比例與水一樣,故又稱為碳水化合物。

sugar ?
醣與糖的區別,在於「醣」即泛指所有的碳水化合物,如肝醣、纖維質、澱粉等;而「糖」是指具有甜味的醣類,如葡萄糖、麥芽糖等。
...

醣類根據其水解產物大致可分為四類:單醣類、雙醣類、寡醣類、多醣類。
...

雙醣類:

加酸水解或經消化脢作用可水解為兩分子的醣類,稱為雙醣。
常見雙糖的分佈及特性:
蔗糖:廣佈於帶甜味的蔬菜、水果中。蔗糖的旋光性為右旋,但水解後的果糖有很強的左旋性,使得水解後的混和物呈左旋性,故此混和液特稱為轉化糖。
麥芽糖:為澱粉及麥芽的水解產物,常用於加工食品中。
乳糖:由哺乳動物產生的醣類,是唯一來自於動物的醣類。因乳糖的甜味低,有利於鈣的吸收,亦可促進腸管蠕動,故有利於嬰兒食用。

常見的雙醣反應是如下:
◎蔗糖→葡萄糖+果糖

◎乳糖→葡萄糖+半乳糖

◎麥芽糖→葡萄糖+葡萄糖

....
多醣類:

水解後能產生10分子以上的單醣。
多醣類具有很高的分子量,無固定形狀,不會結晶、不甜、不溶於水。又可分為

可消化的多醣類,如澱粉、糊精、肝醣,及
不可消化的多醣類,如纖維素、樹膠、果膠等。


...
醣類的消化與吸收:
◎消化的過程:

消化器官 機械性作用 (分泌的消化脢 作 用)

口 腔 可將食物磨碎並與唾液完全混和 澱粉脢(Ptyalin) 使澱粉分解為糊精並使糊精進一步分解為麥芽糖

The Healing at the Pool

2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda

...
One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”

8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”
9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,

10 and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed,
“It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”

Exodus 12

The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread

12
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.
3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb[a] for his family, one for each household.
4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor,
having taken into account the number of people there are.
You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat.

5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.

6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.

7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and "bread made without yeast".

9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs and internal organs.

10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it.

11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand.
Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover.



12 “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and
I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt.
I am the Lord.

13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you.
No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

14 “This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance.

15 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.

17 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. 18 In the first month you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread.”

21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning. 23 When the Lord goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

24 “Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants. 25 When you enter the land that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. 26 And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’ 27 then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped. 28 The Israelites did just what the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.

29 At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well. 30 Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.

The Exodus
31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”

33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!” 34 So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing. 35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing. 36 The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.

37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 38 Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. 39 With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.

40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt[b] was 430 years. 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt. 42 Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord for the generations to come.

Passover Restrictions
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal:
“No foreigner may eat it.

44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised him,
45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker may not eat it.

46 “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.
47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.

48 “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised;
then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat it. 49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.”

50 All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.


//=== ordinance /'>rd.n.nce/
