- 1鳥糞、海鳥糞肥料（洞穴裡的蝙蝠糞有時也叫 guano）
Guano is the dry of , gathered in thick layers on some islands and put on fields to help plants grow. It is rich in what plants hunger for. In the 1800s it was a serious world trade — ships went to dry Pacific islands, especially off South America, and countries even quarrelled over it, because farms far away wanted it badly. People also use the word for bat in caves, which treat in a similar way; the tidy line says sea birds, and that is the classic sense, though actually cave guano is a common stretch. It is not a polite dinner-table word, but it is a straight farming and history word, not slang. There is a rare verb, to guano, meaning to put this on soil; you almost always meet the noun.
組成Borrowed from Spanish guano, from Quechua wanu.
