vocabulary扩展 Estuary, pronounced "ES-choo-air-ee," comes from the Latin word aestuarium, meaning "a tidal marsh or opening." The calm waters of an estuary, where the mouth of a river connects with the open sea and fresh water mixes with salty ocean water, makes the perfect home for many species of aquatic plants and animals. Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound are estuaries.
