Clam是英语中一个多义词,其含义根据词性和使用场景有所不同:
名词:双壳类软体动物
生物学上,clam指一类生活在海洋或淡水中的双壳纲软体动物,具有两片对称的钙质外壳,通过滤食浮游生物获取营养。常见种类包括硬壳蛤(Mercenaria mercenaria)和太平洋牡蛎(Crassostrea gigas)。它们在全球生态系统中扮演重要角色,如净化水质。
动词:保持沉默(俚语)
在非正式表达中,“clam up”意为突然闭口不言,通常因紧张或隐瞒信息。例如:“面对质问,他立刻clam up了。”该用法源于蛤蜊闭合外壳的特性。
经济与饮食文化
习语与隐喻
英语习语“happy as a clam”(形容非常满足)源自“happy as a clam at high tide”(涨潮时蛤蜊不会被捕食),反映其自然生存状态。
