“2B铅笔”的B是哪个单词?你肯定认识,但猜不到

from 每天5分钟,轻松学口语

从小到大我们参加过无数次考试,几乎都要带上2B铅笔来涂答题卡。那么,你是否想过,2B铅笔的2和B是什么意思?A pencil lead is made from graphite mixed with clay. 铅芯是由石墨和粘土混合制成的。Graphite is a naturally soft substance and clay is mixed with it to make it harder. This means a lead with a high graphite content is known as a soft lead and pencils with a soft lead will make a dark mark when used.石墨是一种天然的软物质,人们把它和粘土混合在一起使它变硬。这意味着石墨含量高的铅被称为软铅,软铅的铅笔在使用时会留下黑色的痕迹。Conversely, a lead with less graphite and a higher clay content is known as a hard lead and will make a lighter mark.相反,石墨少而黏土含量高的铅被称为硬铅,它留下的痕迹较浅。所以,一般市面上的铅笔上会标有H或B的字样。其中,H是英文hard(硬)的首字母,用来表示铅笔芯的硬度。“H”前面的数字越大(如6H),就表示铅笔芯越硬,即笔芯中与石墨混合的黏土比例越大。而B是英文black(黑)的首字母,表示铅笔芯石墨的含量,石墨含量越高,笔芯就越软。一般而言,铅笔的硬度有20个等级,分别为9B~B、HB、F、H~9H。2B铅笔,则属于软性铅笔,笔墨的深度适合考试涂机读卡、容易书写,所以考试一般就采用2B铅笔涂抹,既比较容易涂均匀,又有金属光泽。例: Everybody,time's up. Please put down your 2B pencil.各位同学,时间到了,放下你的2B铅笔。Lydia总结了一波与“笔”相关的英语表达,一起来看看: pen是一个多义词 pen除了指“钢笔”,也可以作动词指“写”(to write something)。 例: Lydia penned a note of thanks to her best friend.Lydia 给她最好的朋友写了一封感谢信。 同时,pen还可以表示饲养家畜的“圈,栏,棚”(a small piece of land enclosed by a fence to keep farm animals in)。 比如: a sheep/pig pen羊/猪圈 另外,在美国俚语中,pen 还是penitentiary(监狱)的缩写,口语中经常被用来表达州或联邦的监狱;在英国,则多表示penalty(处罚),尤指足球的“点球”。 所以,老外说话时提到了 pen,大家不要总简单理解为钢笔。 blue pencil不只是“蓝色铅笔” blue pencil不仅仅是字面上“蓝色铅笔”的意思。因为以前剧作家在删减或修改剧本、文案时,习惯用蓝色的铅笔,所以后来blue pencil就引申有“删改,修订,更动;审查”的意思,同时还可以指“审稿员”。 例: Lydia had to accept the blue pencil of the censor.Lydia不得不接受审查员的修订。 削铅笔不是 peel a pencil peel/piːl/是“削皮,剥皮”的意思,但特指除去,剥去水果、蔬菜的皮。 例: Peel, core and chop the apples.把苹果去皮、去核并剁碎。 我们常说的“削铅笔”其实是把铅笔芯变尖、变锋利,因此不能用 peel,而是要用sharpen。削铅笔要用的“卷笔刀”是 pencil sharpener,把刀子变锋利的“磨刀石”就是knife sharpener。 例: My pencil is blunt, I'll have to sharpen it.我的铅笔钝了,我得削一下。 最后,再补充一些有关“笔”的说法:eyeliner 眼线笔eyebrow pencil 眉笔lip pencil 唇线笔mechanical pencil 自动铅笔paintbrush 画笔fountain pen 自来水笔gel pen 中性笔felt-tip pen /felt tɪp / 签字笔,毡尖笔highlighter荧光笔ballpoint pen 圆珠笔chalk /tʃɔːk/ 粉笔 (wax) crayon /ˈkreɪən/ 蜡笔Chinese writing brush 毛笔marker 记号笔
