英语单词使用的越准确越具体越好，例如表示"切割"的动作就不能只知道一个词"cut"，要是用餐时用刀切大块的牛肉就要用"carve"，那么用刀将类似黄瓜、柠檬、面包等切成薄片英语中要用哪个词呢？













slice---to cut food,such as bread,meat,or vegetables into thin flat pieces(slice the cucumber)








Cucumber 黄瓜

The cucumber is a long, thin, round vegetable. Its skin is tough and dark green; its flesh (肉) is watery and light green (浅绿).

Cucumbers can be eaten raw (1) or cooked. Westerners like to eat them raw in salads or sandwiches. Small cucumbers are often used for pickling (腌制). In Chinese restaurants small pieces of pickled cucumber are often served as an appetizer (开胃小吃) before the dinner.

In the face of danger some people are frightened out of their wits(2). In contrast, in the same situation some other people remain as cool as a cucumber(3). These people can think calmly and clearly and soon find a way out of difficulty

Notes:

1. be eaten raw: 生吃。

2. be frightened out of their wits: 惊惶失措.

3. remain as cool as a cucumber: 泰然自若。
