Some new words I learned today I read a essay named "Catching wild elephants in Celylon"today, and I met some words I couldn't understand very well. I think I may have learned one part of them but just forgot them until today, and firstly meat the other part of them. No mater what kind of they are, I just chose to learn the both. And the new words are listed as follows: 1 Celyon: Celyon was an famous Buddhism country which are known as Srilanka nowadays. 2 fence: fence is a barrier between two areas of land 3 trunk the word "trunk" has many meanings, and I just list two of them: 1) a trunk of a tree is the large main stem that produces the branches 2) a trunk of an elephant is its long nose it uses to lift food, water and other things 4 corral : corral is a closed place designed to keep the animals without escaping. 5 rush if you rush to somewhere, you go there as quickly as you can 6 hemmed if you are hemmed by the elephants, that means you are sieged by the elephants. 7 brandish brandish something means to wave something with your hands for example: he brandished the long sword to try to threaten the huge dog. 8 herd: herd means a large group of animals who live together for example: the wolf her always eat people's sheep herd 9 furious extremely angry He is furious because they beat his brother severely. 10 penned force to stay in a small palce 11 bar long straight piece of mental it also means a place where people may get together and drink something 12 fury very strong anger 13 stroke touch lightly and repeatedly 14 entice persuade to do (also not good) in the essay, the tamed elephants try to entice the caught wild elephants to be tamed by Ceylon natives 15 contrive design, or make in the essay, the natives contrive a big corral to catch the wild elephants 16 coil loop， or some wires wound into circle to wind into circles in the essay, the natives contrive to slip a strong rope round one of the elephant's legs and then to coil round the trunk of the tree. OK, so much for today! I hope I won't forget thus words! Good night everyone!
