🇬🇧🇨🇳 sled - 雪橇 : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "sled" ("雪橇"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A sled is a low, flat vehicle that has smooth runners or a flat bottom instead of wheels, so it can slide over snow or ice. People sit or lie on it to zoom down snowy hills for fun, or use it to pull and carry things when the ground is too snowy for regular carts or cars.

We tried to fit four cousins and a snowman on one sled, and only the snowman stayed calm.
The sled hit a patch of ice, and we screamed in three different languages of panic.
I named my sled “Lightning,” even though it mostly crashes slowly into bushes.
The fastest recorded speed on a sled (in luge) is over 150 km/h (about 93 mph)—that’s faster than most cars on the highway, and way too fast for my grandma, who screams at 5 km/h.
Late snow covered the yard. A child found a red sled, hugged the sled, and pushed it down a small hill. The sled slid fast past trees, carrying a laughing child and a startled cat. The sled struck a snowbank, stopping gently. They climbed out, brushing snow off and smiling at the quiet sled.
