Question

sardine n.沙丁鱼 (1) 每一条沙丁鱼都是穿过眼睛挂在钩子上的。(2) 我们十几个人像沙丁鱼罐头一样挤成一团。 Sardines are most often bought canned, lined up in rows in little tins. The word sardine is actually a general term — it refers to a type of fish, most often a small herring, while a slightly larger one is sometimes called a pilchard. The phrase "packed like sardines," describing people crowded together in a tight spot like an elevator or a subway car, comes from the way sardines look in cans. The word itself comes from the Mediterranean island Sardinia.
