This ancient sign includes the Caduceus, the double snake, which dates this depiction of Ophiuchus.

该古代标记包括了墨丘利的节杖-------双蛇，这是对蛇夫星座的描绘。

While probably originating in Mesopotamia, the caduceus found its way eastward to India and westward into the Mediterranean.

墨丘利的节杖可能起源于美索不达米亚，并且一路往东流传到了印度，往西则流传到了地中海。

The caduceus, with its wings and twin snakes, is an impostor which somehow managed to find a connection to medicine, a connection which is unfounded and undesirable.

而默丘利那根有翅膀和两条蛇的手杖则是冒名顶替的，不知何故它被认为与医学有关，这种关联毫无出处，也令人不快。

Despite the apparent clarity around the distinct origins and meaning of the caduceus and the staff of aesculapius, they are both used commonly, and often interchangeably, every day.

虽然关于克丢西尔斯杖和阿斯克勒皮亚斯杖的起源和意义很明显是截然不同的，可它们每天都被频繁使用，而且经常被相互替换。
