Question

contraction n.收缩；痉挛；缩写式 (1) 寒冷的天气会使这座桥缩短两英寸。(2) 肌肉的收缩是人体的一种反应。(3) “I'll”是“I will”的缩写。 The two most well-known uses of contraction involve muscles and words. A contraction of the muscle tenses it or shortens it, like when you're standing in the mirror flexing and admiring yourself. On the other hand, a contraction can also be two words that are combined, with a few letters often replaced by an apostrophe, like when we change do and not into don't.
