Rug Piece Rʌɡ Thick Material Carpet Noun N Count

The English word "rug" primarily refers to a piece of thick material used for covering or decorating part of a floor, typically smaller than a carpet. It can also mean a blanket used to keep warm, particularly common in British English. Additionally, the idiom "pull the rug from under someone" means to withdraw support.

英语是一门语言,其中“rug”(地毯,垫子)最常见的意思是指一块用于覆盖或装饰地板的厚材料,通常比地毯小;它还可以指可以盖在膝盖上保暖的毯子,在英式英语中尤为常见。此外,还有一个习语“pull the rug from under someone”的意思是停止提供支持。
