双解例句
小知识
A rope is made by twisting strands of fiber together into a single, sturdy length. Use a rope to make a swing, tie a hog, or keep people out of your tree house.
Ropes are handy on sailboats for tying up sails; you also use ropes for mountain climbing, lassoing a steer, raising a curtain on a theater stage, and doing aerial tricks in the circus. As a verb, rope means “catch with a rope,” or colloquially, to convince someone to do something: “She'll try to rope me into helping with the bake sale.” When you show someone “the ropes,” you explain the way things are done.
