Now, the VOA Learning English program, Words and Their Stories. The English language has a number of hard-working words. People use these words in many different ways and in many different expressions. One such example is the word "matter". As a matter of fact, matter can mean just about anything. When talking about science, matter is the material or substance that things are made of. ________________________________ 这里是美国之音慢速英语的词汇典故. 英语中有很多多词义的词汇.不同的使用方式、不同的短语中单词表达的意思也不同. 用"matter"来举例说一下,实际上,matter 可以指代任何事情.我们谈到科学时,matter就是构成万物的物质. _________________________________
