4. 词源故事: “Green”来自古英语”grene”，最初指植物的颜色，后来引申为”新鲜的、未成熟的”。”Wood”源自古英语”wudu”，意为”森林、木材”。当这两个词结合时，完美地描述了刚从活树上砍下的木材状态。在古代，木工师傅们发现这种”绿色”状态的木材虽然难以控制，但具有独特的工艺价值。

木工小故事

Tom admired the greenness of the freshly cut oak. The greenish bark still clung to the trunk, and he could smell the greening sap. His greening workshop would soon be filled with the sweet scent of fresh timber. Unlike the evergreen pine, this oak would change dramatically as it dried. The ungreen appearance of seasoned wood was so different from this vibrant, living material.
