    小知识

    When you cut something, literally or figuratively, you trim it. If you have steady hands, you can trim your own bangs. If you don't have steady hands, you can save up for a professional haircut by trimming the amount of money you spend on comics and snacks.

    A landscaper trims the grass and shrubs, and a cook trims fat off of meat before cooking it. But when you trim the Christmas tree, you decorate it, and when a sailor trims the sails, she adjusts them so they'll catch the wind just right. And as a noun, a trim is “an act of cutting,” while trim is “decoration.” All forms of this word are rooted in nautical language.

    单词用法

    单词辨析
    v.(动词)trim,crop,poll,prune,shear这五个词的共同意思是“修剪”,其区别是crop指剪去顶部,目的在于加以区分或惩罚;shear指剪匀、剪平(如修剪草坪)以改善其品质;poll指剪枝,目的在于使其生长良好;trim指剪掉多余物以改善其外在形态;prune则既可指剪去外表的多余物,又可指删去内容的无用部分,从形式到内容全面提高其品质。例如They will be shearing the meadow next week.他们将在下星期修剪草地。We polled many trees the day before yesterday.前天,我们给树剪了枝。Trim off the loose threads.剪掉松开的线头。They were pruning roses.他们正在修剪玫瑰。You should prune the speech down;it's too long.你的演讲应该删掉一些,它太长了。neat,tidy,trim,orderly
    这些形容词均含“整齐的、整洁的”之意。neat指人或物外表既清洁又整齐。tidy侧重整齐,井然有序。trim着重因线条清晰、比例匀称而使外观紧凑、精确、美观。orderly语义比上述几个词强,最常用,指把复杂细微的东西按其内在联系安排整齐,侧重井井有条。
