有许多动物的名字是由英文单词的缩写组成的,以下是一些例子:
- Bird(鸟)- Abbreviation of avian reptile descendant
- Frog(青蛙)- Abbreviation of fully rely on God
- Boa(蟒蛇)- Abbreviation of boana, which means rubber snake in Portuguese
- Scuba(水肺)- Abbreviation of self-contained underwater breathing apparatus
- Laser(激光)- Abbreviation of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation
当然,这些缩写是经过后期的修改和调整才形成的,但它们的来源都有趣且独特。
