The term '一夫一妻制' refers to the practice or state of being married to one person at a time.

In Chinese, '三十' (sān shí) represents the number thirty. It is formed by combining '三' (sān), which means three, and '十' (shí), which means ten. This word is commonly used in counting, telling age, and indicating time, as well as in everyday conversations when discussing quantities, prices, or any context requiring the representation of the number thirty.

The Chinese word '三月' is used to denote the third month of the year, which is March in English. Similar to its English counterpart, it can be used in various contexts where reference to this particular month or timeframe is necessary. It neither denotes a verb such as 'moving forward' nor a type of music as in English context.

The Chinese term '三胞胎' refers to three children born at the same time from the same pregnancy. This term is commonly used in medical and family contexts to describe this specific scenario of multiple births. It conveys a sense of uniqueness and joy, as having triplets is relatively rare compared to having single or twin births.

In Chinese, the word '上' corresponds to the English term 'up'. It is frequently used in the same context as in English, to denote something that is at a higher place or position. It is used as an adjective, verb or preposition based on the context. The setup and structure of the sentence often helps determine its exact meaning. However, it may also have idiosyncratic uses such as indicating the fact of being in use or operation (as in 'the computer is up').
