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

A camel is a four-legged desert animal that's slightly larger than a horse. Camels are distinctive for the humps on their backs.

There are two types of camels: the single-humped or dromedary and the two-humped camel. The first kind lives in the Middle East and parts of Africa, while the second is found in Central Asia. All camels are well-suited to life in the desert, going long periods without water and able to withstand high heat. The word camel comes from the Greek kamelos, and may be related to the Arabic jamala, "to bear."
