crumb n.【C】碎屑；少许；<俚>无价值的人 (1) 她打扫了碎屑。(2) 鲁斯几乎被糕点的最后一块碎屑所噎住。(3) 他为我提供了有关这位作家的一些情况。(4) 这是他从这场磨难里能找到的唯一的少许安慰。 Crumbs are what you're left with after finishing a box of cookies or a bag of tortilla chips — the bits that are too small to eat. You can also talk about other, non-edible types of crumbs, like the crumb of wisdom in an otherwise silly movie or the crumb of information a detective finds at a crime scene. The Old English root is cruma, "crumb," and it's thought that the silent b was influenced by words like dumb.
