  1. 1nB1/ˈælfəbet/字母表

    All the letters used to write a language, kept in one fixed order — in English, A, B, C and the rest, all the way to Z.

    示範例句 · Example

    There are twenty-six letters in the English alphabet.

    逐字在英文字母表裡有二十六個字母。

    alphabet 講的是「一整套字母」，而且有固定的順序：英文就是 A 到 Z 這 26 個。所以英文說 the alphabet（整套）、a letter（其中一個）——中文「字母」兩種意思都能講，英文卻分得很清楚。可以想成 ㄅㄆㄇ：也是一整套、也有順序，只是換成另一種文字。不同語言有不同的 alphabet，例如 the Greek alphabet（希臘字母）、the Roman alphabet（羅馬字母）。

core核心畫面

The whole set of letters a language with, laid out in one agreed order that never changes — A, B, C … Z. Not the sounds, not the words: the boxes of parts you build words out of, kept in a fixed line so everyone can find things in the same place.

可以想成一個語言用來寫字的全套零件，而且這套零件永遠照同一個順序排好：A、B、C 一路排到 Z。重點有兩個——一是「全套」，少一個就不叫 alphabet；二是「固定順序」，正因為順序是大家講好的，字典、名單、索引才排得出來，你也才找得到東西。它不是聲音，也不是單字，是拼出單字的那些零件本身。
