第1个单词:collar

美音:/ˈkɑːlər/,英音:/ˈkɒlə(r)/
含义:n. 衣领,领口;颈圈;(动物颈部颜色异样的)色圈,颈锁形条纹;箍,套管;(股票交易的)项圈策略;<英>肉卷;猪颈部的熏肉块;(植物的)根颈

英文短含义:A collar goes around a neck. For a human, it’s the neckband of a shirt or jacket. For an animal, it’s a neckband that attaches to a leash, kills fleas, or makes a poodle feel fancy./

衣领围在脖子上。对于人类来说,它是衬衫或夹克的领口。对于动物来说,它是一条系在皮带上的颈带,可以杀死跳蚤,或者让贵宾犬看起来很漂亮。

英文长含义:The color of your collar says something about what you do. “Blue collar” refers to people who do manual labor while “white collar” refers to people with desk jobs. Animals generally don’t care what their collars look like. When it’s a verb, collar means “apprehend” or “arrest,” as when a police detective finally collars an elusive bank robber. This meaning arose from the 17th century use of collar, “grab someone by the neck.”

你衣领的颜色说明了你的所作所为。 “蓝领”是指从事体力劳动的人,而“白领”是指从事办公室工作的人。动物通常不在乎它们的项圈是什么样子的。当它是一个动词时,collar 的意思是“逮捕”或“逮捕”,就像一名警探最终给一个难以捉摸的银行劫匪戴上项圈一样。这个意思源于 17 世纪对项圈的使用,“抓住某人的脖子”。

Some cellars have specific purposes, including a storm cellar, where you take cover during a tornado or other storm, and a root cellar, where you store potatoes and other root vegetables during the cold months of the year. This kind of cellar comes the closest to the meaning of the Latin root, cellarium: “pantry or storeroom.”
