- 1食道（台灣多說「食道」；對岸解剖用語也常說「食管」。不是「喉嚨」的全部，只是吞食物的那條管。）
The gullet is the tube that carries food from the back of your mouth down to your stomach. When you swallow, muscles in that tube push the food along; it does not just fall. Doctors often say (in American spelling, esophagus). Gullet is the older, plainer word — a bit , still used in everyday British talk and sometimes in medical talk. People also stretch it to mean the throat in general, though actually the throat has more than one tube: the gullet is the food road, not the air road (that is the ). If something “sticks in your gullet,” it is hard to accept, like food that will not go down.
組成From Middle English golet, from Old French goulet, from Latin gula, “throat.”
