Basket 篮子
You go shopping with a shopping basket；you are throw waste paper or other waste material into a wastepaper basket. What's a “bread basket ”，then ？It can be a basket for keeping bread in； it can be an area of a country which produces vast amounts of grain. Americans call the Middle West of their country America's “bread basket ”.
Sometimes a person worries so much that he cannot sleep ，or eat ，or do anything other than worry. He can be described as a basket case（a helpless person who is unable to take care of himself）. A student who studies too hard for exams may not eat, sleep or play ，for so long that he becomes a basket case and must be sent to hospital.
你带上购物篮子去购物。你把废纸或其它废品扔进字纸篓中。bread basket又是什么呢？它可能是放面包的篮子，也可能是盛产粮食的区域（粮仓），美国人就把本国中西部称作美国的“粮仓”。
有时候一个人极度苦恼，竟至睡不着，吃不下，什么事儿也做不了。他就可以被形容为basket case（无法照顾自己的废人）。为应付考试而啃书过度的学生，也可能不吃、不睡、不玩，时间久了成了无力自理的人，只好被送进医院去。
