喜樂美語
  1. 1

    The flank is the side of something — most often the side of an animal's body, between the ribs and the hip (you might see 'flank steak' on a menu, which is meat from that part of a cow). It's also used for the side of a group of soldiers or people. As a verb, to flank someone means to stand or walk on their side: 'He was flanked by two bodyguards' means one guard stood on each side of him.

    (動物的)腰腹部、側面 / 側翼(軍隊)/ 站在...兩側
