• His face was bent downward, his shoulders bowed, his lips compressed, and the veins stood out like whipcord in his long, sinewy neck. 阿瑟·柯南·道尔. 福尔摩斯历险记.
• The lash, however, was curled upon itself and tied so as to make a loop of whipcord. 阿瑟·柯南·道尔. 福尔摩斯历险记.
• The sight of the safe, the saucer of milk, and the loop of whipcord were enough to finally dispel any doubts which may have remained. 阿瑟·柯南·道尔. 福尔摩斯历险记.
