One way to hold this phrase: a farmer standing over this year's harvest and pushing part of it aside. That part is not for eating and not for selling. It sits in a dry tin all winter, doing nothing useful, because next year's field has to come from somewhere. Hold that decision in mind and the figurative use needs no explanation at all — and keep one thing separate from it, because there is a second seed corn on this page that has nothing to do with grain.
可以想成一個農夫站在今年的收成前面，把其中一部分推到旁邊。那一部分不吃，也不賣。它整個冬天就待在一個乾燥的罐子裡，看起來什麼用也沒有，因為明年那片田總得從哪裡來。把這個「推到旁邊」的決定記住，比喻用法就不必再解釋了。另外要分開放的是：這一頁上還有第二個 seed corn，跟穀物完全無關。
