英语词汇“wild ass”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

a. A domesticated equid mammal, kept in many parts of the world mainly as a draught and pack animal, Equus africanus asinus, distinguished from the horse by its smaller size, long ears, and a tuft at end of the tail, and typically having a coarse grey or brown coat with a white underside; = donkey n. 1a. Also (in full wild ass): either of two wild animals of deserts and arid grasslands, Equus africanus (more fully African wild ass) of north-eastern Africa, from which the domesticated animal is thought to derive, and E. hemionus (more fully Asiatic wild ass), a yellowish or reddish brown equid of western and central Asia (also called onager); (occasionally, more fully striped ass) a zebra (now historical).In popular use, the name is now to a great extent superseded by donkey (a shift reinforced, esp. in North America, by a desire to avoid association with ass n.²); but ass persists in traditional, biblical, and proverbial contexts, and with reference to the wild species. Cf. burro n., cuddy n.³ 1, field-ass n. at field n.¹ Compounds 3, jackass n.¹ 1.
