Question

cow n.母牛；雌象；雌鲸；雌犀牛；<俚><贬>女人v.恐吓 (1) 这母牛生了一头小牛。(2) 你知道怎么挤牛奶吗？(3) 我确信,这一事件经过精心策划,目的是恐吓我们。 Most people would immediately identify a cow, the large, cud-chewing female of what is known as "cattle." Cows are typically domesticated farm animals, though the females of wilder bovine relatives are also called cows. The verb form of cow, "to frighten or subdue," comes from the docile nature of most cows — they are fairly easy to intimidate, or easily cowed. The Old English root is cu, from the Indo-European gwous, which might have developed from the sound that cows make.
