Pump audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Pump" — noun, pronounced /pʌmp/, with the stress on "pump".
Narrator: A pump is a machine that forces liquid or gas into or out of something.
Narrator: In plain English, it pushes water or air where you want it.
Narrator: It probably comes from Middle Dutch pompe, a ship's pump.
Narrator: A common collocation is "bicycle pump", which describes the tool for inflating tyres.
Narrator: It differs from "valve", because a valve only controls flow, while a pump actually creates it.
Narrator: In a second sense, "pumps" are light, flat shoes, and "to pump someone" is to question them for information.
Narrator: Engineering, medicine, farming and fitness all rely on the word.
Narrator: So remember: a pump pushes things along, from water to air to money.
