C管子工man who fits pipes for water,etc. into buildings and repairs them
Noun:
a craftsman who installs and repairs pipes and fixtures and appliances在英语中，表示“水管工”的单词是plumber，由plumb铅+er人组成，字面意思就是“铅制品工人”。水管跟铅制品有什么关系呢？原来，这是因为在古罗马时期，人们广泛使用铅来制作水管。
古罗马人的冶金技术已经相当发达。在冶炼白银的过程中，他们得到了副产品铅。古罗马人发现金属铅具有很好的特性，用铅制成的日常器皿能保持持久光亮，不会像铜器那样产生绿绣；在葡萄酒中加入铅粉不仅能去除葡萄的酸味，还能使酒味更加醇厚；用铅粉做成的化妆品能够让妇女的皮肤更白。因此，古罗马人的贵族广泛使用铅制品，例如，他们把铅条夹在木棍中用于书写，这就是“铅笔”一词的由来。他们还使用铅做成水管，构建了四通八达的地下管道。这些管道中含有的金属铅逐步溶解之水中，被喝进罗马人的身体内，甚至是孕妇的体内。就这样，一代又一代的罗马人都受到了严重的铅中毒。很多科学家认为，铅中毒是古罗马帝国破落的重要原因之一。
在拉丁语中，plumbum表示“铅”，由此衍生出英语单词plumb铅。由于古罗马的上下水管道都是用铅制成的，因此安装、维修这些管道的工人在英语中就被称为plumber铅制品工人了。
