Question

siphon n.虹吸管v.用虹吸管吸出或排出；转移（钱） (1) 使液体通过虹吸管。(2) 她把企业的赢利转到了自己的帐户上。 A siphon is a tube running from one container to another that uses gravity to cause liquid to flow. The key is that the container with the liquid has to be at a higher level than the container you’re moving the liquid to. You have to use force to start the initial flow, but after that gravity takes over. We also use siphon as a verb, for the process of emptying. An endless meeting might siphon off all your energy.
