Sew 描述了将某物缝合在一起。如果你缝合袜子上的洞，你可以用线和针来缝合它们。
长释义：
The word sew comes from the Old English word siwian, to stitch. You can sew a patch on a pair of jeans, sew a dress, or sew up a hole in your grandmother’s old quilt. A figurative meaning of sew, as in the phrase to sew something up, is to secure something or bring it to a happy conclusion, like sewing up the plot in the last chapter of a book. Don’t confuse sew with sow, to plant or set in motion.
sew 这个词来自古英语单词 siwian，缝合。你可以在一条牛仔裤上缝一个补丁，缝一条裙子，或者在你祖母的旧被子上缝一个洞。 sew 的比喻意义，就像在短语 to sew something up 中一样，是为了确保某物或将其带入一个幸福的结局，就像在一本书的最后一章中缝合情节一样。不要将缝纫与播种、播种或启动相混淆。
文学例句：
Helping somebody else sew was twice as hard as making something herself.
帮助别人缝纫比自己做东西难两倍。
—Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Pérez

Her face is long, her mouth slightly lopsided; something about the top lip is a little skewed, as if it’s been cut open and sewn up crooked.
她的脸很长，嘴巴有点歪；上唇有点歪斜，好像被切开缝合歪了一样。
—Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood
