小知识
A speck is a tiny patch or spot. At night, the stars look like glittering specks against the sky. And when you look up at the night sky, you might feel like a mere speck in the universe.
A speck is a bit of color or light, or a very slight amount of something: “I'd like my eggs with lots of salt and just a speck of pepper.” If you're extremely tidy, discovering specks of sand on your jeans after a walk on the beach might prompt you to change your clothes. Speck can be traced back to the Old English specca, “small spot or stain,” but beyond that its origin remains a mystery.

词语辨析
molecule,atom,particle,speck,grain。
这些名词均有“粒、微粒”之意。molecule指物质中保持原物质的一切化学性质,能独立存在的最小微粒,即分子。atom指元素的最小粒子,其体积比molecule小。particle指任何物质的微粒,引申指任何小的部分。speck一般指“微点”或“微粒”,可引申指“斑点、污点”。grain通常指能为肉眼清楚看到的颗粒,比上述几个词所表“粒”的体积大。
