pygmyism meaning in English
n.
矮小，矮小的状态。
Examples
- This demonstrates that pygmyism is not a result of earlymalnutrition , as another hypothesis has it
这表示侏儒并不是如有些假设所称的那样是因为早期营养不良的结果。 - There are also two competingexplanations : that small bodies keep cool more readily than large ones ( pygmyism tends to be a tropical phenomenon ) or that pygmies live in placeswith unreliable food supplies , and their size means they can make do withsmaller meals
还有另两种与之竞争的解释：矮小的身材比高大的更容易保持凉爽（侏儒现象倾向于出现在热带）或者侏儒居住的地方食物供应不可靠，长得小意味着能够靠更少的食物勉强度日。
