diabetes的注释：

9. Diabetes is named for one of its distressing symptoms. The disease was known to the Greeks as diab?t?s, a word derived from the verb diabainein, made up of the prefix dia-, “across, apart,” and the word bainein, “to walk, stand.” The verb diabeinein meant “to stride, walk, or stand with legs asunder”; hence, its derivative diab?t?s meant “one that straddles,” or specifically “a compass, siphon.” The sense “siphon” gave rise to the use of diab?t?s as the name for a disease involving the discharge of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes is first recorded in English, in the form diabete, in a medical text written around 1425.
糖尿病因其痛苦的症状之一而得名。此病症闻名于希腊语diabetes ， 是动词diabainein 派生出的单词， 由前缀dia- “穿过，隔开”和单词 bainein “走，站”构成。 动词diabeinein 表示“跨过，走过或两条腿分开站着”； 因此，其派生词diabetes 表示“一个人叉腿站着”， 或专指“指南针，虹吸管”。 在diabetes 使用“虹吸管”是表示排尿量过多的一种病的名称。 Diabaets 一词第一次被记录到英文中是在1425年前后的一本医学课本中，以diabete 的形式出现
