Thread 线
Thread is made of cotton, silk, or man-made fibers such as nylon. It is chiefly used in sewing and weaving. Have you ever watched a spider weave its silk threads into a web strong enough to catch flies moths or mosquitoes? It is so fascinating!
Thread is fine ,and easily broken. This helps you understand the expressions used in the following examples:
When a man's life is in very great danger, you can say his life hangs by a thread .
When there is a faint hope of success, you can say there is a thread of hope left.
线是用棉花、丝或像尼龙那样的人造纤维做的。它主要用于缝纫和编织。蜘蛛编丝成网,足以逮住苍蝇飞蛾和蚊子,你有没有看过呢?那真是神奇得很呐!
纤维细小而易断。这有助于你理解,用在下列例子中的词组:
当一个人的生命极其危险的时候,你可以说他的生命危在旦夕,千钧一发。
当存在微小的成功希望时,你可以说,还有一线希望。
