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

Use the noun yew when you're talking about the medium-sized evergreen that has flat needles and small red berries.

This ancient and durable tree confirms the theory that the longer you hang around English, the more homophones — words that sound the same though they're spelled differently — you'll pick up. There are several of these in the case of yew. Curious thing is, all four words in English with this pronunciation (yew, ewe, you, and u) appeared before the 12th century. Guess we just like to make the sound.
