助记

  • 1. corn : 词源同grain,谷物。
  • 1. corn(玉米):北美殖民者对美国玉米的误称 英语单词corn在英国和美国的含义相差甚远,值得注意。在英国,corn泛指“谷物”。具体来说,在英格兰指的是“小麦”,在苏格兰和爱尔兰指的是“燕麦”。17世纪时,英国殖民者来到美洲大陆时,看到当地印第安人种的玉米,将其称为“india corn”。其实在英语中表示“玉米”的单词是maize,但由于当时在新英格兰地区玉米是唯一的粮食作物,因为殖民者习惯将其称为india corn,后来缩略为corn,而原本表示“玉米”的maize一词反而很少使用。 corn: [kɔːn] n.(美)玉米,(英)谷物,(皮肤)鸡眼vt.腌,使成颗粒
