n.【希臘神話】 蛇杖（赫耳墨斯所持的帶有兩條互相纏繞的蛇的帶翼權(quán)杖）；用于象征醫(yī)生這個職業(yè)

Confirmed site of Caduceus Medical Station (The Staff! ) （已確定的Caduceus醫(yī)療站點，就是圖里的The Staff!）

The caduceus began as the magical rod of the Greek messenger-god Hermes (or the Roman god, Mercury). 最初，默丘利的手杖是希臘報信神赫爾墨斯（或說羅馬神默丘利）的魔杖。

Before the doctors appropriated it, the caduceus was worn by people who wanted the gift of eloquence and eternal youth. 在醫(yī)生們將節(jié)杖“據(jù)為己有”之前，佩戴節(jié)杖的人們是想得到神靈賦予的辯才和永恒的青春。

The caduceus was adopted as a symbol of physicians because of its similarity to the staff of Asclepius. 蛇上方還附加兩個翅膀，表示赫耳墨斯的飛快速度。

Two are an interwoven double helix called ida and pingala, often represented by double serpents (as in the caduceus). 其中兩條相互交織的雙股螺旋分別是左脈(IDA)和右脈(PINGALA)，經(jīng)常被描述為雙絞的蛇(如雙蛇纏繞的魔杖CADUCEUS)。
