Snails are horribly violent in when making love. So how are they connected to the image of romance?

SNAILS: Romantic, or Dangerous Beasts?

大家好，我是Honglin老师。欢迎来到我的汉字频道。

这是我的第四次推送。今天要给大家分享的字是，“独“，孤独的独，独自的独。

“独”是一个，单个的意思。这个字呢，左边是犬字旁，指的是狗；右边是个虫子，也是一种小动物。那一只狗和一只虫子，为什么组成了“一个”“单个”的意思呢。

独其实是个会意字，也就是说，它把两个单独的汉字放在一起表示一个新的意义。狗有什么特点呢，它们会为了食物打斗，失败了，狗就逃走，赢了，这只狗就可以独自享受食物。那虫子呢？

在以前，或者在繁体字里，独不是这样写的。犬字旁的右边其实是个“蜀”字。这个“蜀”有时候也用来指四川省，中国西南部的省份。它是指的是一种喜欢独自呆在一种花里的虫子，长得有点像毛毛虫。 

狗喜欢吃独食，这个叫“蜀“的虫子又喜欢独自在花里。那把他们两个放在一起，就变成了独，表示“只有一个”。

那今天给大家分享一个含有“独”的词语，叫“独裁”，“独裁”。大家应该都听说过卓别林，Charlie Chaplin。他有一部非常伟大的电影，叫“The Great Dictator’，讲了一个想要统治全世界的人，翻译成中文，就是《大独裁者》。所以独裁的意思，就是指独自裁断，独揽政权，一个人统治一个国家。而这样的人，就叫，“独裁者”。

关于“独“字，你还能想到什么词语呢？
