vocabulary简明 A single hair, a noodle, even a line of thought — any of these things could be called a strand, a long thin length of something.
vocabulary扩展 The noun strand describes things that are long and thin like a rope, or a strand of spaghetti, hair, or thread. Strands are often twisted together to form thicker, stronger things like cables. As a verb, the meaning is very different: "to leave helpless," like unreliable cars that strand their drivers, or a snowstorm that strands people at airports.
