Did You Know?

Myopia is a condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina of the eye, resulting in defective vision of distanct objects. Those with myopia can be referred to as “myopic” (or, less formally, “nearsighted”). Myopic has extended meanings, too. someone myopic might have trouble seeing things from a different prespective or considering the future consequences before acting. Myopic and myopia have a lesser-known relative, myope, meaning “a myopic person.” All of these words ultimately derive from the Greek myōps, which comes from myein (meaning “to be closed”) and ōps(meaning “eye, face”).

近视是一种病态，由于视觉图像聚焦在眼睛的视网膜的前侧造成，导致观看远处的物体产生缺陷视觉（你瞅啥？瞅不清。）。患有近视的人被称为“近视的”（还有一种不太正式的同义词nearsighted（近视的））。“近视的”这个词还有引申的含义。某个“近视的”人可能不能从不同的角度看事物或者无法预料某些行为的后果（经常用于贬义）。Myopic和myopia还有一个几乎不为人所知的亲戚单词myope，意思是“患有近似的人”。所有这些单词都最终来自与希腊单词myōps，这个词由myein（“近”）和ōps（眼，脸）构成。

注：retina：视网膜；defective：有缺陷的，【语】不完全变化的；less formally：不太正式用语，口语；lesser-known：几乎不为人所知

Examples

• “This is, on the whole, an encouraging finding. if children became myopic due to looking at objects too closely, then we’d be stuck with an unsolvable dilemma: choosing between teaching children to read and protecting their eyesight.”
  — Brian Palmer, Slate, 16 Oct. 2013

  总体上，这是一个令人振奋的发现。如果儿童是由于看物体太近导致近似眼，这样我们就陷入了一个无法解决的两难境地：必须要在教儿童阅读与保护他们的视力之间做出选择。

  注：dilemma：两难境地；eyesight：视力

• “But even the most myopic seer can foretell with near certainty that our tranditional use of privately owned vehicles running on fossil fuels is going to give way to new mobility options, and soon.”
  — John Gallagher, The Detroil Free Press, 9 Dec. 2018

  但是即便是“最近视的”观察家也几乎能够做出肯定的预言，我们传统使用的私家烧油车将要给新能源让路了，而且很快。

  注：seer：预言家，观察家，先知；vehichle：交通工具，媒介；fossil fuel：化石燃料；give way to：给…让路；new mobility options：新能源交通工具
