表人和动物的量词如作一细细推敲,还真有趣呢。表人的量词为“口”。口者,食言也。吃饭喝水,说话交流,其功能极为重要。眼、耳、手、脚也缺一不可,为何不作表人量词?人的眼、耳、手、脚都是双数,称一眼人、三手人、四脚人,定使人产生伤残奇怪之类的联想,因而不妥贴。孟子曰:“数口之家,可以无饥矣。”古时把俘虏叫“生口”。《后汉书·班超传》:“斩首千余级,多获生口。”可见以口代人,源远流长。
The quantifiers of human beings and animals are really interesting if they are carefully scrutinized. The measure of the person is “mouth”. Mouth, food is also. Eat and drink water, talk, its function is extremely important. Eye, ear, hand, foot are also indispensable, why not make table quantifier? People's eyes, ears, hands, feet are double, saying one person, three hands, four feet, will cause disability Strange kind of association, so improper. Mencius said: “The number of families, can be hungry.” In ancient times the prisoners called “raw mouth.” “The Later Han Class Super Biography”: “Decapitated more than a thousand level, and more were born.” Visible to the mouth of generations, goes back to ancient times.
