| 1. | A " caduceus " represents hermes staff and medicine ! !
Caduceus代表海尔梅斯权杖和药物！ ！ ！ |
| 2. | The caduceus began as the magical rod of the greek messenger - god hermes ( or the roman god , mercury )
最初，默丘利的手杖是希腊报信神赫尔墨斯（或说罗马神默丘利）的魔杖。 |
| 3. | Unfortunately , although both the staff of aesculapius and the caduceus are in use , only one of them has a historical connection with the practice of medicine
不幸的是，虽然伊斯蔻雷皮亚斯和默丘利的手杖都被用作医学标记，但历史上它们中只有一根与医学实践有联系。 |
| 4. | That in itself was not a problem until several publishers of medical texts began prominently displaying the caduceus on the books given to students and doctors
这本身并没有什么问题，但是后来，几个医学课本发行人开始在给学生和医生的书上的显著位置印上了克丢西尔斯杖的图形。 |
| 5. | The caduceus , with its wings and twin snakes , is an impostor which somehow managed to find a connection to medicine ， a connection which is unfounded and undesirable
而默丘利那根有翅膀和两条蛇的手杖则是冒名顶替的，不知何故它被认为与医学有关，这种关联毫无出处，也令人不快。 |
| 6. | The first of these came in the 1500 s when printers began to use the caduceus as their insignia because they felt it symbolized their role as messengers and businessmen
第一种源头是16世纪印刷工开始用克丢西尔斯杖作为他们的徽章，因为他们觉得这可以象征他们作为报信者和生意人的身份。 |
| 7. | Despite the apparent clarity around the distinct origins and meaning of the caduceus and the staff of aesculapius , they are both used commonly , and often interchangeably , every day
虽然关于克丢西尔斯杖和阿斯克勒皮亚斯杖的起源和意义很明显是截然不同的，可它们每天都被频繁使用，而且经常被相互替换。 |
| 8. | In fact , the romans used the caduceus as a symbol of peace , and described a myth in which hermes ( mercury ) threw his rod between two fighting snakes and stopped their battle , at which point they wrapped themselves around the wand
事实上，罗马人用默丘利的手杖作为和平的象征，并且在一个神话中说，赫尔墨斯（默丘利）投魔杖于两条互相争斗的蛇中，制止了它们的战斗，于是两条蛇就盘绕在魔杖之上。 |
| 9. | Unfortunately , there is one final significance of the caduceus that should appeal to no one and is horrifying when connected to the medical profession , for it was the duty of hermes , caduceus in hand , to lead the souls of the dead to the underworld
不幸的是，赫尔墨斯蛇杖还有一个重要意义，如果和医生这个职业联系起来，会变得很恐怖，没人会再感兴趣? ?因为手持蛇杖，引领死者的灵魂前往冥界，是赫尔墨斯的职责。 |
| 10. | Yet perhaps it does not matter that both the caduceus and the aesculapian staff are both recognized as symbols of medicine , as long as people associate the symbols with the qualities that a physician should embody , rather than with the qualities of ancient greek gods
不过只要人们能把这个符号与医生本应拥有的品质联系起来，而不仅仅只是与古希腊诸神的品质联系起来，那么，同时把克丢西尔斯杖和伊斯库雷皮亚斯杖认做医学标志，也许就没什么要紧了。 |
