Wicker is thin, bendy branches or reeds — often willow, bamboo or rattan — woven over and under each other to make baskets, chairs, trays and so on. The word can mean the material itself, but you will meet it far more often sitting in front of another noun: a wicker basket, a wicker chair, a wicker picnic hamper. Strictly speaking wicker names the weaving, not one particular plant, so a rattan chair and a willow basket are both wicker.

Wicker is thin, bendy branches or reedswicker是又細又軟的枝條或蘆葦 — often willow, bamboo or rattan —通常是柳條、竹子或藤 woven over and under each other一上一下編織起來 to make baskets, chairs, trays and so on做成籃子、椅子、托盤之類的東西。The word can mean the material itself這個字可以指材料本身 but you will meet it far more often sitting in front of another noun但你更常看到它放在另一個名詞前面 a wicker basket, a wicker chair, a wicker picnic hamper像wicker basket（藤籃）、wicker chair（藤椅）、wicker picnic hamper（藤編野餐籃）。Strictly speaking wicker names the weaving嚴格說起來wicker指的是編織這個做法 not one particular plant不是指某一種植物 so a rattan chair and a willow basket are both wicker所以藤椅和柳條籃子都算是wicker。

It carries a warm feeling in English — old gardens, verandas, summer, grandmothers, picnics — so writers use it when they want a homely, slightly old-fashioned scene. Furniture makers sell "wicker" garden sets that are really woven plastic; the word has quietly stretched to cover the look rather than only the material.

It carries a warm feeling in English這個字在英文裡帶著一種溫暖的感覺 — old gardens, verandas, summer, grandmothers, picnics —舊花園、陽台、夏天、祖母、野餐 so writers use it when they want a homely, slightly old-fashioned scene所以作家想寫出溫馨、帶點懷舊味道的場景時就會用它。Furniture makers sell "wicker" garden sets that are really woven plastic家具商賣的『wicker』花園家具其實是編織塑膠做的 the word has quietly stretched to cover the look rather than only the material這個字已經悄悄擴大成指那種「外觀」，不只是材料本身。

It is uncountable, so you do not say "a wicker" or "two wickers" — you say a piece of wicker, or name the object: a wicker box.

It is uncountable這是不可數名詞 so you do not say "a wicker" or "two wickers"所以你不會說『a wicker』或『two wickers』 you say a piece of wicker, or name the object: a wicker box你會說a piece of wicker（一件藤編品），或直接講物品：a wicker box（藤編箱子）。
