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

A clock is a device that keeps time, displaying hours, minutes, and often seconds. If there's a clock in your calculus classroom, it can sometimes be hard to keep from watching the minutes tick by.

You might have an antique grandfather clock in your hall or an alarm clock beside your bed. Clocks are either analog, with hands that move around a numbered circular face, or digital, showing the time in digits, like 4:27. If you clock your friend as she runs a mile, it means you keep track of how long it takes her. Originally, the word was clokke, "clock with bells," from the Medieval Latin clocca, "bell."
