深入解读
Hoard 是一个在小站（微信公众号：田间小站）上周推送的 好书推荐 | 从 A 到 Z 的英语单词避错指南 中出现过的单词，提到它容易与 horde 相混淆。
该词在古英语时期拼作 hord ，最早出现于12世纪前，本义作名词表示“聚藏、贮藏、囤积”，常用搭配 hoard of sth ，通常指秘密的或小心保护的金钱、食物、贵重物品等的储备或储存，包括古代钱币、有价值的文物以及留作将来使用的有用信息或事实的累积储存，比如：
- 输掉了这场决定性的战役后，我们在地下室发现了一大批储藏的罐头食品。
After losing this decisive battle, we found a huge hoard of tinned food in the basement.
用作动词时， hoard 除了相应尤指秘密地“聚藏、贮藏、囤积”外，也可以进一步引申指将自己的想法、意图、感情等隐藏在心里，比如：
- 那位老工人把自己的意图隐藏起来。
The veteran worker hoarded his intention.
