Porcelain or earthenware used for the table.陶瓷餐具:餐桌上使用的瓷器或陶器语源:Short for chinaware chinaware的简写 注释:Our termchina for porcelain or ceramic ware is a shortening of chinaware and probably china dishes. Although the wordchina is identical in spelling to the name of the country, there are 16th- and 17th-century spellings likechiney, cheny, and cheney that reflect the borrowing into English of the Persian term for this porcelain,ch&9{ºn&9{º}.} The Persian word and the Sanskrit wordc&9{ºn³&9{¡},} “Chinese people,” which gave us the English name for the country, go back to the Chinese wordQin, the name of the dynasty that ruled China from 221 to 206b.c. 我们所说的表示瓷器或陶器的词china 是 chinaware 或者可能是 china dishes 的缩写形式。 虽然china 这个词拼写上与中国的国名是一样的, 但16和17世纪时也有chiney,cheny 和 cheney 等拼法, 表明英语借用了波斯语中表示这种瓷器的词,chini 。 这个波斯词,还有梵语中cinah 一词(“中国人”,英语中中国的名称即从这个词而来), 都来自汉语里的Qin 字, 这是从公元前 221至206年统治中国的王朝的名称 China Chi.na AHD: [chº“n…] 缩写 Ch.,Chin.D.J.
