vocabulary简明 A carrot is a long, orange root vegetable. Carrots can be planted as tiny seeds and grown in a backyard garden.
vocabulary扩展 Carrots are a popular vegetable to eat raw on their own, or chopped and tossed in a salad. You can also cook carrots, or grate them and make a carrot cake. You might also use the word carrot to mean an implied reward, especially in the phrase "carrot and stick," which comes from the idea of enticing a donkey or mule forward with a carrot, or punishing it for not moving by hitting it with a stick.
