Phrase | blade |
Text | The word "blade," in this podcast, means the rubber and/or plastic piece that is moved across the window in the front of one's car to move away rain so that the driver can see more clearly: "If your car's front window is always dirty, you might want to buy new wiper blades." A "blade" is also the sharp part of a knife or another tool: "Camilo accidentally cut his cheek with his razor blade this morning." Sometimes a "blade" is a single, long and flat leaf on a plant, especially grass: "Andrew picked a blade of grass and chewed on it as he walked over the hills." Finally, a "blade" is often one of the long, flat parts of a machine that moves around in a circle: "Don't put your fingers into the fan because you might get hurt by the blades." |
