A knob is a round handle that you turn to open something like a door or to control a machine, like a radio or oven.
用法与细微差别
"Knob" is mostly used for round handles on doors, drawers, or for turning controls (volume knob, oven knob). Not used for flat handles (those are "handles"). Sometimes used in informal speech to refer to a person's head or, in UK slang, insult.
