    小知识

    When you turn something, you rotate it or move it around an axis, the way you turn a key in a lock or turn a car's steering wheel.

    Gears and wheels turn, and you can turn a screw with a screwdriver. You can also turn by shifting direction or changing position: “She turned away from him when he started telling terrible jokes.” When you flip the page of a book, you turn that as well. And to transform or change is another way to turn: “He turned pale when he saw the ghost.” Turn can also be used a noun meaning “an act or instance of rotating.” And when you play a board game, you roll the dice when it's your turn.
