| 释义 | hair (once / 40 pages) 1n 2n Hair is the strands of fiber that grow from a person's skin, especially on the scalp. Most mammals, from dogs to bears to mice, also have hair. Your hair might be straight or curly, brown or gray or dark red. Even people with no hair on their heads have body hair, short, fine hairs that grow on arms and legs. Cats have coats that vary too, ranging from hairless to long, silky hair. Even some plants can be described as having hair. Colloquially, people "split hairs," or argue about unimportant things, or tell a "hair-raising" tale, or a spooky story that gives you chills.
