vocabulary简明 A gill is the body part that helps a fish breathe underwater. In fish and other aquatic creatures, their gills are equivalent to our lungs.
vocabulary扩展 Fish and some amphibians need to breathe the oxygen in water to live, and they use their gills for this. Gills are the main organs of respiration for animals that live in or under the water. The root of gill is uncertain, but it may be related to the Old Norse gjölnar, "gills," and rooted in the Proto-Indo-European ghel-una, or "jaw."
