樹做的料
核心本身:樹幹樹枝那種硬料;連高爾夫的『木桿』也歸這裡,因為它本來就是用這種料削出來的。
wood (material) · noun · A2
The hard material that the trunk and branches of trees are made of.
木頭
You can hold wood as the hard brown stuff a tree is made of — the trunk and branches you can cut, , and burn. Everything else fans out from this: a patch of land thick with the trees that wood comes from, a club from it, and a handful of old sayings that reach out to knock on it.

木頭
一片樹林
從『一棵樹的料』退一步看整片地:很多棵長在一起的樹聚成一小片林子——木頭的來源地。
wood (small forest) · noun · A2
A small forest; an area with many trees growing together.
樹林
敲木頭討吉利
這一家是固定老話,借用『去敲一塊木頭』這個動作來討吉利、保平安,意思已經跟木料本身脫鉤、變成一句口頭禪。
touch wood · noun · A2
Said just after you talk about your good luck, hoping it will continue.
老天保佑
拿樹林打的比方
這兩句借的是『樹林』那個畫面:人困在一片林子裡——還沒走出來,或只顧著盯一棵棵樹而看不見整座林——拿來比喻處境和眼界。
not out of the woods (yet) · noun · A2
Used to say that hard times may not be over yet, even if things look better.
還沒脫困
