植物学上常见的柔荑花序(catkin or ament)一语中,“荑”字的读音和“柔”字的写法,长期以来很不一致。“柔荑”的“荑”,有的读作yi,有的读作ti,有的认为两种读法都行。到底应该怎样读?如果仅凭一般工具书对这个多音字的释义,则很难判断它在组成“柔荑”这个合成词之后应该读什么音、如果多查几本工具书,并从“柔”字入手查找“柔荑”一词,就可以确凿无误地得出结论:“柔荑”的“荑”,只能读作ti(题),而不能读作yi(移)。 The term botanic common catkin or ament has long been inconsistent with the pronunciation of “荑” and the writing of “soft” characters. Some of them are yi, some are ti, some think both readings are okay. What to read in the end? It is difficult to judge what kind of polyphony it should be after composing this compound word if it is based on a common tool book. If you look at several reference books, “Find the word” softly “word, you can conclusively conclude:” softly “” 荑 ", can only be read as ti (title), but not as yi (shift).
