心房

• 心房

In its earliest known usage, found in the Treatise on Physiology 《全體新論》 by Benjamin Hobson , it referred to any of the four chambers of the heart. This word was then transmitted from Chinese to Japanese as 心房(しんぼう) (shinbō), where the meaning narrowed to refer only to the atrium. This narrowed meaning was then brought back into Chinese by the 20th century (Huang, 2020b).

     At the time, a friend who would sometimes come to chat was Jin Xinyi. He put the big wallet in his hand on the shabby table, took off his robe, and sat down across me. Because he was afraid of dogs, it seems like his heart was pounding.
