| 词汇 | grain |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： c.1200, from O.Fr. grein, from L. granum "seed" (see corn). As collective sing. meaning "seed of wheat and allied grasses used as food," it is attested from early 14c. Extended in M.E. to other objects (e.g. salt, sand). Used of wood (1560s), from the arrangement of fibers, which resemble seeds. Hence, against the grain (1650), a metaphor from carpentry: cutting across the fibers of the wood is more difficult than cutting along them. 词根记忆： n. 谷物,谷类;颗粒,细粒The gained grain drained away with the rain, all the pains were in vain again.收获的谷物随雨水流失了,所有辛劳又白费. |
