Question

ivory n.象牙；乳白色 (1) 这些人与土着居民做买卖以换取象牙。(2) 这个教授生活在象牙塔中。(3) 他的指甲象白色的琴键一样。 One of the most prized animal products is ivory, which comes from the tusks of elephants and walruses. Ivory — which is extremely hard dentine — is used in many objects, especially expensive, decorative ones such as statues.
