继续介绍Nintendo Switch的Game List
The Binding of Isaac：Afterbirth+
以撒的结合：胎衣+
以撒的结合，最早在ps4上的游戏，后来移植到了PC和Switch上。那到底谁是以撒呢？
Isaac /ˈaɪzək/
-
N an Old Testament patriarch, the son of Abraham and Sarah and father of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 17; 21–27) 以撒; 《旧约全书》中一长者，亚伯拉罕和撒拉之子，雅各布和以扫之父
patriarch = patri + arch ==> patri-为父系的前缀，古时主要由男人统治，而arch本意为弓形，做后缀-arch表示领导统治的意思，所以理所应当这个词表示有地位，也就是长者。
patriarch /ˈpeɪtrɪˌɑːk/ TEM8

再来说一下binding，bind作为名词是结合、捆绑的意思，而binding作为名词则是捆绑物，结合物。以撒的结合就是和以撒意识在一块的邪恶生物(evil creatures)，游戏中我们需要面对并消灭它们。
