The ASTRO GalleryASTRO 展厅

A family of words born from the stars.从星辰里生出的一族词。

Greek astron means a star. The words in this room were built at different times: some in ancient Greek, one in Italian, some in modern scientific English. They share a root. They are not one pattern English still uses to mint new words.

希腊语 astron 是星。这间屋子里的词造成于不同的时候:有的在古希腊,有一个在意大利语里,有的在现代科学英语里。它们共有一条根。它们不是英语至今仍用来铸造新词的同一种办法。
