    示範例句 · Example

    The invitation says business attire is required for the dinner.

    逐字邀請函說商務衣著被要求給這場晚餐。

    「attire」是正式說法的「衣服／衣著」，比 clothes 更正式。核心畫面可以想成「這次場合該穿的那套衣服」——請柬、公司規定常會寫。常見搭配：business attire（商務裝）、formal attire（正裝）。通常不可數，不說 an attire。

      商務裝；上班／商務場合服裝

core核心畫面

Picture the line on an invitation that tells you what to wear: formal attire. The word means clothes, but it always arrives with an occasion attached — it is the dressed-for-something word, not the word for what is in your wardrobe.

可以想成：喜帖或邀請卡最下面那一行「服裝：正式」。這個字的意思是衣服，但它幾乎都帶著一個場合出現——它講的是「為某個場合穿的那一身」，不是你衣櫃裡的衣服。
