1、thick 管"厚实、浓密"，反义是 thin（薄的；瘦的；稀的）——一厚一薄对着记最牢。它出自"鼓起、膨胀"的古根，同族 thigh（大腿）、thumb（拇指）都是"鼓粗"的部位。
2、挤得密密叫 thick as thieves（贼窝一样密）；风雨无阻叫 through thick and thin（顺境逆境）；正酣、最紧张的时刻 in the thick of。
3、拼读：th 咬舌 /θ/，i 短音，英美同 /θɪk/；与 think /θɪŋk/ 只差尾巴一个音，thick 收尾是硬 k。

thick: [OE] Thick comes from a prehistoric Germanic *thekwia-, which also produced German dick, Dutch dik, Swedish tjock, and Danish tyk. It is related to Welsh tew and Breton teo ‘thick’, but its ultimate antecedents are not known. Thicket [OE] is a derivative.
- thick (adj.)
- Old English þicce "dense, viscous, solid, stiff; numerous, abundant; deep," also as an adverb, "thickly, closely, often, frequently," from Proto-Germanic *thiku- (cognates: Old Saxon thikki, Old High German dicchi, German dick, Old Norse þykkr, Old Frisian thikke), from PIE *tegu- "thick" (cognates: Gaelic tiugh). Secondary Old English sense of "close together" is preserved in thickset and proverbial phrase thick as thieves (1833). Meaning "stupid" is first recorded 1590s. Related: Thickly.
As a noun, "the thick part" (of anything), from mid-13c. Phrase through thick and thin, indicating rough or smooth going, hence "unwaveringly," is in Chaucer (late 14c.); thick-skinned is attested from 1540s; in figurative sense from c. 1600. To be in the thick of some action, etc., "to be at the most intense moment" is from 1680s, from a Middle English noun sense.
