Clam是英語中一個多義詞,其含義根據詞性和使用場景有所不同:
名詞:雙殼類軟體動物
生物學上,clam指一類生活在海洋或淡水中的雙殼綱軟體動物,具有兩片對稱的鈣質外殼,通過濾食浮遊生物獲取營養。常見種類包括硬殼蛤(Mercenaria mercenaria)和太平洋牡蛎(Crassostrea gigas)。它們在全球生态系統中扮演重要角色,如淨化水質。
動詞:保持沉默(俚語)
在非正式表達中,“clam up”意為突然閉口不言,通常因緊張或隱瞞信息。例如:“面對質問,他立刻clam up了。”該用法源于蛤蜊閉合外殼的特性。
經濟與飲食文化
習語與隱喻
英語習語“happy as a clam”(形容非常滿足)源自“happy as a clam at high tide”(漲潮時蛤蜊不會被捕食),反映其自然生存狀态。
