短释义：
Beavers are actually rodents, so they are related to mice and rats, though they’re much larger. Their long teeth make it possible for them to chew through even broad tree trunks, felling them across bodies of water to create dams. This provides the beavers with a safe home or lodge, protected by the ponds they’ve created and usually accessible only underwater. The word beaver has a Proto-Indo-European root that means “brown” or “bright.”
海狸是一种水和土地居住的动物，尾巴非常宽，毛皮和突出的前牙。海狸以其跨河流和溪流建造水坝的能力而闻名。

海狸实际上是啮齿动物，因此它们与小鼠和老鼠有关，尽管它们更大。他们的长牙齿使他们有可能在宽阔的树干中咀嚼，将它们撞到水体上以创造大坝。这为海狸提供了一个安全的房屋或小屋，受到他们创建的池塘的保护，通常只能在水下使用。 Beaver一词具有原始印度 – 欧洲的根，意为“棕色”或“明亮”。

词源：
beaver(n.1)”large amphibious quadruped rodent of the genus Castor,” Old English beofor, befer (earlier bebr), from Proto-Germanic *bebruz (source also of Old Saxon bibar, Old Norse bjorr, Middle Dutch and Dutch bever, Low German bever, Old High German bibar, German Biber), from PIE *bhebhrus, reduplication of root *bher- (2) “bright; brown” (source also of Lithuanian bebrus, Czech bobr, Welsh befer). See bear (n.) for the proposed reason for this.
The animal formerly was valued and hunted for its secretions (see castor) and for its fur, which was used in the manufacture of hats, so much so that beaver could mean “hat” from 1520s and continued so into 19c. even after hats began to be made of silk or other material. They were hunted to extinction in Great Britain in the 16th century but have lately been reintroduced.
