短釋義：
If you hear someone say, “Go for the jugular!” Watch out! A serious attack is coming. When lions attack prey, they chomp down on the jugular to kill the animal fast.

Because this is a vulnerable area, you can use this word for other vulnerable things, like a weak spot on a sports team.
頸靜脈是“頸靜脈”的縮寫，是將血液從頭部輸送到心臟的主要靜脈。您也可以將任何脆弱區(qū)域稱為頸靜脈。
