Bud Bʌd Tree Plant Leaf Open Budding Nip

The word "bud" can be used as a noun referring to a new growth on a plant that can develop into a leaf or flower, or as a verb meaning to produce buds. It can also be used informally as a term of address for a man, similar to "buddy." The phrase "in bud" means having buds but no open flowers yet, while "nip in the bud" means to stop something before it can develop further.

词语 "bud" 可以用作名词,指代植物的芽或苞,也可以用作动词,表示发芽或萌芽。此外,它还可以作为称呼语,对其他男性表示亲近,类似于“老兄”。短语 "in bud" 指花或叶正在发芽的状态,而 "nip in the bud" 意为将某事在萌芽状态下掐灭。
