Spout

《Itsy Bitsy Spider》是我最喜歡的經典兒歌,歌詞有動物spider(蜘蛛)、動作、落雨、陽光。除了《Rain Rain Go Away》,落雨唱這首歌也很合適。The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Down came the rain and...

歌詞有一個比較深的生字spout,解「出水管」。小蜘蛛爬上排水管,雨水把它沖了出來。等到太陽出來,曬乾了雨水,小蜘蛛才爬回排水管裏去。

Spout作動詞用則解「噴出」。例句:Flames and ash spout from the volcano.(火焰和灰燼從火山噴出。)

Spout還可以引伸指「滔滔不絕地談」、喋喋不休、口水不停地噴。例句:I'm totally tired of listening to my brother spouting about his girlfriend.(弟弟喋喋不休地談女朋友,我實在聽膩了。)
