1. 1(動物)吃草;(人)少量多餐、隨時吃零食

    Grazing is what animals like cows, sheep, and horses do when they eat grass slowly, walking around a field as they go - "the cows were grazing in the field." The word has spread to people too: "grazing" now also describes eating small amounts of food often throughout the day instead of having a few big meals - some people say grazing is healthier, others say it's just snacking all day. "Grazing land" is land used for animals to graze on.
