| Text | The word "trunk," in this podcast, means a large, hard-sided box used to pack clothing, books, and other items for travel, especially a long time ago when people traveled by ship: "They keep an old trunk at the foot of their bed, filled with heavy winter sweaters." When talking about a car, the "trunk" is the open area in the back used for transporting large items: "Could you please help me put these bags of groceries into the trunk?" When talking about an elephant, the "trunk" is the long nose: "The children squealed when the elephant sprayed water over them with its trunk." Finally, when talking about a tree, the "trunk" is the thick main part of the tree: "The squirrel ran up the trunk of the maple tree." |
