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。
表示第一章“chapter 1“ 比较常用，有时也用 “Volume 1”（多表示第一篇或第一卷）。
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
