| 词汇 | junk |
| 词源 | junk. “Junk” was the best pronunciation 18th-century British mariners could make of the rude little Javanese sailing boat called a djong. Junk, therefore, became the name for the small boat and possibly the word for the things scattered about any ship that seemed as untidy as the djongs appeared, though the origin of junk in this last respect isn’t certain. |
