Plum Meaning in English

word

/ˈpɫəm/
pluhm

pluhm

释义

A plum is a small, round, sweet fruit with smooth skin and a pit inside. It can also mean something very desirable or valuable, especially a job or opportunity.

用法与细微差别

In food contexts, 'plum' only means the fruit. Informally, 'a plum job' or 'plum position' means a very desirable or well-paid opportunity. In plural, 'plums' still refers to the fruit. Do not confuse with 'plumb' (for measuring depth).
