fowls(名詞,複數形式)是fowl 的複數形式,其含義主要指向以下方面:
家禽(尤指雞類): 這是最核心和最常用的含義。指被人類馴化、飼養,主要為了獲取肉、蛋或羽毛等産品的一類鳥類。最常見的代表是雞(chicken),但也包括鴨(duck)、鵝(goose)、火雞(turkey)、珍珠雞(guinea fowl)、鹌鹑(quail)等。它們屬于鳥綱(Aves),特别是雞形目(Galliformes)和雁形目(Anseriformes)中的馴化種類。
鳥類(尤指獵鳥或特定野生鳥類): 在更廣泛或較古老的用法中,“fowl” 可以泛指鳥類,尤其指那些作為狩獵對象的野生鳥類,例如松雞(grouse)、野鴨(wild duck)、野鵝(wild goose)、雉雞(pheasant)、鹧鸪(partridge)等。這個用法在現代英語中不如“家禽”常用,但在特定語境(如狩獵、文學)中仍會出現。
關鍵區分點:
重要性: 家禽(Poultry, a subset of fowls)是全球畜牧業和食品供應的重要組成部分,為人類提供了主要的動物蛋白來源之一(肉和蛋)。
