Question

ESLPod_0317_WE_0309 Setting the Table In this podcast, the word "knife" means a long, metal or plastic object with a handle and a sharp side that is used to cut food: "While Edith was cutting carrots, the knife slipped and she accidentally cut her finger." A "knife" can also be a weapon, or something used to hurt another person: "The boy pulled a knife from his pocket and pointed it at the other boys who he thought wanted to hurt him." A "pocketknife" is a small knife (possibly with more than one knife blade) that folds into the handle so that it can be put in one's pocket: "Whenever we go hiking, we always take a pocketknife with us." The informal phrase "to be under the knife" means to be having surgery: "Christy hurt her knee again, and tomorrow she'll be going under the knife to get it fixed."
