a narrow piece of land that sticks out from the main part of a state, like the handle of a pan. Two well-known examples are the Florida panhandle and the Oklahoma panhandle, both of which stick out to the north-west of their states.从状态的主要部分伸出来的一块狭窄的土地,就像锅柄一样。两个著名的例子是佛罗里达州的潘汉德尔和俄克拉荷马州的潘汉德尔,它们都突出于本州的西北部。
