摘　　要：Ear picks, delicate devices for removing wax from ears, used to be common in China. While not so prominent nowadays, they are still available in stores. The structure of an ear pick is simple: a long, thin handle with a little scoop, or spoon, at the other end. Ear picks are generally made from wood, bamboo, ivory, animal's horns and bones, jade, iron, copper, silver and/or gold. They are small, intricately decorated, and fit comfortably into one's ear.挖耳勺,在中国曾是个常见的物件,街头巷尾,至今犹有出卖。挖耳勺的形制非常简单,细长的柄,柄的一端制出一个小勺。其质地有竹木、象牙、角骨、玉石、铁、铜、银、金,小巧玲珑,有的制作非常精巧。
