Typically found in industrial, mining, or chemical contexts. The phrase 'a lake of [liquid]' describes a collection of surplus or waste material that has to be managed separately from the main production process.

常見錯誤

✅There is a large puddle in the garden after the rain.
💡Use 'puddle' or 'pool' for rainwater on the ground; 'lake' in this sense is limited to industrial surplus contexts.

  • dye

文法句型

[color] + lake

lake + pigment/dye

用法筆記

Almost always preceded by a colour name (crimson lake, rose lake, scarlet lake). Without the colour name, 'lake' alone is ambiguous. Not used in everyday conversation — found mainly in art supply catalogues, paint labels, and historical dye descriptions.

常見錯誤

❌She bought lake paint' (unclear which colour).
✅She bought crimson lake paint.
💡The colour name must come before 'lake' to specify which pigment is meant.
