bundle
短释义：
Although sheaf almost always refers to bundles of paper, there’s one striking exception to this, as any fan of Robin Hood knows. What Robin and his merry men carried on their backs were sheaves — bundles of arrows held in a handy little case called a quiver. After all, a sheaf of love letters or newspapers would make a pretty poor weapon against the evil Sheriff of Nottingham.
那些用丝带绑在衣柜后面的旧情书？上周的报纸打包回收了吗？每个都是一捆——一捆捆好的东西，准备存放或携带。

尽管“捆”几乎总是指一捆纸，但正如罗宾汉的粉丝都知道的那样，有一个惊人的例外。罗宾和他快乐的手下背着的是捆——一捆捆的箭，装在一个叫做箭袋的方便小盒子里。毕竟，一捆情书或报纸不足以成为对抗邪恶的诺丁汉警长的糟糕武器。
