英语词汇pipeline的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	pipeline
词源	pipeline. The first pipelines to convey oil were conceived in about 1862 and with them came the obvious word describing them, which has over the years also become slang for a rich source of anything valuable. The best-known oil pipeline of the millions of miles of them in America is The Big Inch, which is actually a 24-inch pipe that conveys oil 1,341 miles from east- ern Texas to New Jersey.
