簸箕在英语中通常称为"winnowing basket"，源自拉丁语"vannus"。它是一种用于将麦秆和谷物分离的工具，其中通过风力将谷物吹到簸箕上，轻的米粒会被风吹走，而重的谷物会留在簸箕内。例句：

The farmer used a winnowing basket to separate the wheat from the chaff.

(农民用簸箕把小麦和糠分离开来。)

In the Bible, Jesus often used parables involving winnowing to teach his followers.

(在《圣经》中，耶稣经常用涉及簸箕的比喻来教导他的信徒。)
