1. Human: 形容词和名词
“Human”既可以用作形容词，也可以用作名词，表示“人”的意思。作为名词时，与“human being”含义相同。
例如：
- I'm only human. (我只是人。)[形容词]

- I'm only a human being. (我只是一个人。)[名词]
需要注意的是，不能说“I'm only human being”。

3. Usage of “human being”
“Human being” 通常不作为形容词短语使用。例如，我们很少说 “human being history”，而是说 “human history”。
4. Etymology of “human” and “being”
“Human”源自古法语“humain, umain”，后者源自拉丁语“humanus”。这些词语最初都是形容词。15世纪中叶，“human”开始在英语中使用作名词，表示“人”。
“Being” 在英语中很早就存在，它有“存在，生物”的意思。 “Human being” 的字面意思就是 “人类生物”。
“Being” 的动词原形是 “be”，可以追溯到原始印欧语 (PIE) 词根 “bheue-”，该词根表示“存在，成长”。 “Grow” 可以引申出“生长，生物”的意思。COBUILD Advanced English Dictionary 中对 “being” 的释义之一是 “any real or imaginary creature”。
举例：
- Every living being is subject to decay. (每一个生物都会腐烂。)
- Each human being has to die, but mankind goes on world without end. (每个人都会死，但人类却永无止境。)
- Every man is liable to error.; No human being can be free from mistakes. (是人总要犯错误。)
