英语词汇“to draw cut”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

a. = lot n.: in the phrase to draw cuts, originally to draw (or lay) cut, applied to a ready way of casting lots, by the chance drawing of sticks or straws of unequal length.The simplest and most usual way is to take as many bits of straw, stick, or the like, as there are persons concerned, one of these bits being shorter (or it may be longer) than the others; these being held so that one end only is exposed, each person draws one of the bits for himself, and he who chances to draw the bit differing in length is the person to whom the lot falls. In later use each bit is called a cut, but in earlier use the decisive bit appears as the ‘cut’.
