Subject: Apothecary’s mortar . Помогите пожалуйста перевести словосочетание Apothecary’s mortar ...Вот мой контекст: The mortar derives its name from the Apothecary’s mortar which the originals strongly resembled. The Mortar was a large and heavy bowl made from iron that was loaded with gunpowder and a heavy projectile and fired by use of a hot iron through a vent hole in the side much like a cannon. А вот из Википедии я нашла: Simply made, these weapons were no more than iron bowls reminiscent of the kitchen and apothecary mortars from where they drew their name. Речь идет о фармацевтической бомбе(как я думаю), или я что-то не так понимаю? |
