    词源解说:
    英语单词straw的本意是农作物的茎秆,如麦秆,稻草,它与“吸管”有什么关系呢?原来,人类最早用作习惯的材料就是天然的麦秆。19世纪时,美国人喜欢喝冰凉的淡香酒。为了避免口中的热气冲淡酒的冰冻味道,人们使用天然的麦秆来吸饮。但是天然麦秆容易折断,并且不够卫生。1888年,一名叫做马尔温?斯通(Marvin Stone)的美国卷烟制造商从卷烟中得到启发,使用打蜡的纸做成了喝饮料的吸管(drinking straw),并申请了专利。这项发明不仅为亿万消费者提供了便利,还有效降低了蛀牙的发生率。=最初,人们使用drinking straw来表示吸管,后来直接简化成了straw。=straw[str??]n.农作物的茎秆,麦秆,稻草;吸管;无价值的东西adj.稻草的,无价值的=strawberry['str??b(?)r?]n.草莓,草莓色

    小知识

    Straw is a fiber made from dried plant stalks. Horses love it. People make baskets, hats, bedding, fuel, and much more from straw. But not drinking straws —those are usually plastic.

    Many farm animals have sleeping areas lined with straw. This stiff, dry fiber is also added to animal feed, pressed into bricks that can be burned as fuel, and even made into bales that can comprise the walls of a home. Straw is what's left over when the grain and chaff have been removed from cereal plants like wheat. The Old English streaw literally means “that which is scattered or strewn.” As a color, straw is light yellowish beige.
