Lasso
“Lasso” 既可以是名词也可以是动词。作为名词，它指一种带活动套结的绳索，常用于牧场捕捉牛马。作为动词，它指用这种套索捕捉动物。在现代软件（如 Photoshop）中，它也指代用于选取不规则形状区域的“套索工具”。
- “The cowboy skillfully threw his lasso and caught the running calf.” (牛仔熟练地抛出套索，抓住了奔跑的小牛。)
- “He tried to lasso the stray horse, but it was too fast.” (他试图用套索套住那匹走失的马，但它跑得太快了。)
- “Use the lasso tool in the software to select the object you want to move.” (在软件中使用套索工具来选择你想移动的对象。)
源自西班牙语 “lazo”，意为“绳结、系索”，最终源于拉丁语 “laqueus” (陷阱、套索)。
无前缀和后缀。
“Lasso” 是美国西部牛仔文化的象征之一。在西部片中，牛仔展示套索特技（lasso tricks）是经典的情节。在墨西哥语境中，它被称为 “reata”。
- 复数形式: lassos 或 lassoes
- 过去式: lassoed
- 现在分词: lassoing
联想：西部牛仔抛出一圈绳子。单词拼写中的两个 ‘s’ 就像绳索卷起的圈。
“The young rancher spent all morning practicing with his lasso. By noon, he was finally able to catch a wooden post from ten feet away. His father nodded, knowing that one day the boy would be a great cowboy.” (年轻的牧场主花了一整个上午练习他的套索。到中午时，他终于能套住十英尺外的一根木桩了。他父亲点点头，知道总有一天这孩子会成为一名伟大的牛仔。)
