grass
[ɡɹ̠äːs]
In its primary sense, the word evokes images of nature, openness, and tranquility. It is often associated with domesticity (lawns) or wild expanses (prairies). While usually neutral, it can carry positive connotations of freshness, growth, and vitality. In British slang, the term shifts dramatically to a negative context. Here, it carries a feeling of betrayal and cowardice. To "grass" someone is not merely to report a crime, but to do so in a way that violates a social code of silence or loyalty.
Uncountable when referring to the green carpet of a lawn or pasture ('the grass is wet'). Countable when discussing specific botanical species or types of vegetation ('the prairie contains several different grasses').
意味
Vegetation consisting of short plants with narrow leaves, typical of lawns, prairies, or pastures.
"The cows are grazing on the lush green grass."
