    小知识

    A seed is basically a baby plant — it's the way plants reproduce. One tiny sunflower seed can potentially grow into a sunflower that's ten feet tall.

    Some seeds are just a tiny speck, others a small pod, and still others a cluster inside a fruit. As a verb, seed means “remove the seeds from,” so you can seed a lemon or a pomegranate (and in the latter case, you can then eat the seeds you've seeded). You also seed when you scatter seeds in a garden. Figuratively, seed is often used to mean “provide money to start a business” or “help something grow.”

    单词用法

    单词解说1
    seed作“种子”解时,多指有花植物的种子,树种及能榨出油的种子。用来指小量的或特定数量的种子以及一粒一粒的种子时,是可数名词,“一粒种子”是a seed,“多粒种子”是seeds。泛指“种子”时是不可数名词,无复数形式。但当seed用于比喻意时,可用复数形式seeds。引申还可表示“种子选手”。
    单词解说2
    seed作“后裔”“子孙”解时是不可数名词。
