vocabulary简明 Timber! That's the call of warning you hear before a tree falls. That's because those lumberjacks are going to use the tree to make timber, otherwise known as "lumber" or the wood used for construction.
vocabulary扩展 Timber can actually be the trees used to make or build something, or the wood that comes from those trees, which you could also call "lumber."

But the timbers he's talking about are actually the boards and planks used to build the frame of a ship.
