When people are talking about Jing Ke, they would mention that "when it rains millets and horse grow horns" about Crown Prince Dan's fate. That statement was too far.

From a legend about Crown Prince Dan, who sent Jing Ke to assassinate Qin Shi Huang but failed

Crown Prince Dan of Yan was held hostage in Qin. The Qin king (who later became Qin Shi Huang) did not treat him well and he was not happy. He then asked the Qin king to let him back to Yan. The Qin king did not listen, and made a bold statement that he would only let him go if the crows have white heads and horses grow horns. Dan looked at the sky and sighed, and suddenly the crows' heads became white and the horses grew horns. The Qin king could do nothing but let him go.

Yàn Tàizǐ Dān zhì yú Qín, Qín wáng yù zhī wúlǐ, bù déyì, yù qiú guī. Qín wáng bù tīng, miùyán yuē lìng wū báitóu, mǎ shēng jiǎo, nǎi kěxǔ ěr. Dān yǎngtiān tàn, wū jí báitóu, mǎ shēng jiǎo. Qín wáng bùdéyǐ ér qiǎn zhī.

nil per os

From Latin nil (“nothing”) + per (“by means of”) + os (“mouth”), literally “nothing by mouth”.

The initial written orders should include: insulin dosage to be administered as soon as the patient appears nil per os, measure all intake and output, and obtain venous blood for measurement of blood or serum urea nitrogen, glucose, acetone [...] and phosphorus.

We evaluated the effect of Colestid on enteral feeding-induced diarrhea in a double-blind placebo-controlled study. Nineteen patients who were nil per os (NPO) for 5 days before initiation of enteral feeding were enrolled in the study and treatment continued for 7 days.

βράζει το αίμα μου

head

βράζει το αίμα μου • (vrázei to aíma mou)

Presumably a calque of Ottoman Turkish قانی قاینامق (kanı kaynamak, “to be lively”, literally “for one's blood to boil”) (see there for further etymology), as this is a common idiom in Turkic languages which is not attested in Greek prior to the Ottoman period.

το γαίμα μ' βράζει

→ Pontic Greek: το γαίμα μ' βράζει (to gaíma m' vrázei) (calque)

From قان (kan, “blood”) + ـی (-ı, possessive suffix) + قاینامق (kaynamak, “to boil”), literally “for one's blood to boil”. This idiom is probably of Common Turkic origin, as can be seen by the large number of cognates such as Azerbaijani qanı qaynamaq (“to feel affection for someone”), Bashkir ҡан ҡайнау (qan qaynaw, “to get filled with anger”), Crimean Tatar къан(ы) къайнамакъ / qan(ı) qaynamaq, Kazakh қаны қайнау (qany qainau, “to get excited”), Kumyk къаны къайнамакъ (qanı qaynamaq), Turkmen gany gaýnamak (“to get excited”), Tatar кан кайнату / qan qaynatu (“to get filled with anger”), Uzbek qoni qaynamoq (“to get filled with anger”).

nghệ thuật vị nghệ thuật

Sino-Vietnamese word from 藝術 (“art”), 為 (“for”) and 藝術

vi-etym-sino

Các nhà khảo cổ học đánh giá, pho tượng Phật Đồng Dương chính là mỹ thuật tiêu biểu cho kỹ thuật đúc đồng tinh xảo kết hợp với nghệ thuật tạo hình độc đáo mang tính bản địa, đã làm cho phong cách nghệ thuật của tượng đạt đến đỉnh cao của nghệ thuật, nếu các pho tượng Phật của một số nước mang phong cách nghệ thuật vị tôn giáo, thì Phật Chămpa mang trong mình hai thiên hướng nghệ thuật vị nghệ thuật, nghệ thuật vị nhân sinh, có những nét tương đồng với nghệ thuật Hellienique[sic] của Hy Lạp.

2018 November 9, Thích Nhật Từ with Thích Bửu Chánh, Trương Văn Chung, and Nguyễn Công Lý, “PHẬT GIÁO CHĂMPA QUA HÌNH TƯỢNG PHẬT ĐỒNG DƯƠNG [CHAMPA BUDDHISM THROUGH THE ĐỒNG DƯƠNG STATUE]”, in PHẬT GIÁO VÙNG MÊ-KÔNG - DI SẢN VÀ VĂN HÓA [MEKONG BUDDHISM: LEGACY AND CULTURE], page 282:

Archaeologists have said of the Đồng Dương Buddha statue as the prime fine-art example of intricate copper metallurgy and unique figurative craftsmanship with a strong indigenous sense of identity, which pushes its artistic style to the acme of art; if other countries' Buddha statues are indicative of art for religion's sake, Champa statues represent art for art's and life's sake, with similarities to Hellenic art.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. (KJV)

Wǒ shì yòng shuǐ gěi nǐmen shīxǐ, jiào nǐmen huǐgǎi. Dàn nà zài wǒ yǐhòu lái de, nénglì bǐ wǒ gèng dà, wǒ jiù shì gěi tā tí xié, yě bù pèi. Tā yào yòng shènglíng yǔ huǒ gěi nǐmen shīxǐ.

我是用水給你們施洗，叫你們悔改。但那在我以後來的，能力比我更大，我就是給他提鞋，也不配。他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。
