1. 1樹液(名詞);耗盡、削弱(動詞)

    As a noun, sap is the liquid inside a plant or tree that carries food and water around, a bit like blood in an animal — it's what runs out when you cut into a tree (like maple syrup trees). As a verb, 'to sap' something means to slowly drain it away, usually someone's strength, energy, or confidence — 'the heat sapped my energy.' There's also an old, informal use where 'a sap' means a foolish, easily-tricked person, but that one is less common now.
