单词 globe
释义
globe
(once / 119 pages)
n

A globe doesn't have to be a spherical representation of our planet; it can be anything shaped like one — like a soccer ball or a gumball.
Referring to a round shape, globe is often used interchangeably with sphere, though sphere has another meaning of an area of particular interest or a segment of a particular population. Globe is also another name for planet Earth itself, our lovely third rock from the sun — as in "viewers are tuning in from around the globe."
WORD FAMILY
globe: conglobate, global, globes, globular+/conglobate: conglobated, conglobation/global: globaler, globalise, globalize, globally/globalise: globalisation/globalize: globalization, globalized, globalizes, globalizing/globular: globularly, globularness
