(bandit) seed Explanation: 不知道是否合适，供参考。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-07-10 03:02:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 关于 seed 的两个似乎实用的意义，可参考： http://www.thefreedictionary.com/seed 其中有： 5. the source, beginning, or germ of anything: the seeds of revolt. 6. chiefly Bible offspring or descendants: the seed of Abraham. 这样看来，“seed”应该是贴切的。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-07-10 04:03:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 哦，前面的“实用”是错别字，应为“适用”。 |

| Reference: Red Sorghum Clan (novel) Reference information: The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 Mo Yan Nobel Lecture 7 December, 2012 Storytellers I’ll start out using characters’ real names in order to achieve a sense of intimacy, and after the work is finished, it will seem too late to change those names. This has led to people who see their names in my novels going to my father to vent their displeasure. He always apologizes in my place, but then urges them not to take such things so seriously. He'll say: "The first sentence in Red Sorghum, ‘My father, a bandit’s offspring,’ didn’t upset me, so why should you be unhappy?" https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2012/yan-lecture_en.html |
