drumsticks(名词,复数)
/ˈdrʌmˌstɪks/
I bought a pair of drumsticks for my first drum lesson.
我为第一节架子鼓课买了一副鼓槌。
The recipe says to marinate the drumsticks overnight, then roast them until the skin turns crisp and golden.
食谱说要把鸡腿腌一整晚,然后烤到外皮变得酥脆金黄。
drumstick 由 drum(鼓)+ stick(棍、棒)构成,字面意思就是“鼓的棒子”,最初指敲鼓用的棒。后来在英语里也常用来比喻鸡的下腿形状像“带柄的棒”,因此引申出“鸡腿(下腿)”这一常见含义。
