摘一段《不列颠百科全书》(ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA)网站里对dove一词的解释:Dove, any of certain birds of the pigeon family, Columbidae (order Columbiformes). The names pigeon and dove are often used interchangeably. Although “dove” usually refers to the smaller, long-tailed members of the pigeon family, there are exceptions: the domestic pigeon, a rather typical pigeon, is frequently called the rock dove and is the bird portrayed and called the “dove of peace.” The common names of these birds do not necessarily provide any information about their biological relationships.See domestic pigeon; pigeon.pigeon的解释是:Pigeon, any of several hundred species of birds constituting the family Columbidae (order Columbiformes). Smaller forms are usually called doves, larger forms pigeons. An exception is the whitedomestic pigeon, the symbol known as the “dove of peace.”所以,dove是小型pigeon,pigeon的范围更广。 |
