Question

specimen n.标本；样本 (1) 这件标本上有很多颜色。(2) 亚瑟拿出了他的标本箱。(3) 他仍是健康的典范。 The noun specimen comes from the Latin word specere, meaning “to look.” Biologists collect specimens so they can get a better look at something to study it. The idea is that, with a good specimen, you can learn about an entire group: it's a good representation. That meaning is echoed in the slang use of specimen, a strong, healthy and attractive person.
