/tjub/ n.管,筒;小軟管;隧道;地下鐵道,[解.植]管;[樂]管樂器的管;真空管;內胎.

指「地下鐵」的例句:
"Cycling is a quick, healthy and convenient way of getting around London. But it is also the case that the Tube network is reaching capacity and we can only put so many buses on roads that are already extremely busy so the future lies in cycling."
原文:Revolution! Britain embraces the bicycle By Cahal Milmo

指「內胎」的例句:
"Interrupting your ride to help a fellow cyclist patch a tube or borrow a chain tool isn't exactly the same as stopping to help an injured man at 27,000 feet elevation."
