    示範例句 · Example

    Taiwan’s automotive industry builds many car parts for the world.

    逐字台灣的汽車工業為世界製造許多汽車零件。

    「automotive」是放在名詞前面的形容詞，核心意思是「跟汽車有關的」——常指汽車工業、技術、零件，不只是「一台車」。常見說法：the automotive industry（汽車工業）、automotive technology（汽車技術）、the automotive section（賣場的汽車用品區）。可以想成「貼在名詞上的汽車標籤」：它告訴你這件事屬於汽車這個領域。跟 car / automobile（名詞＝車本身）不同；也跟 automatic（自動的）不一樣。

core核心畫面

Picture a label you can stick on anything that belongs to the world of cars — a factory, a magazine, an engineer, a paint. Automotive does not describe the car itself; it marks other things as belonging to that world.

可以想成：它是一張可以貼在各種東西上的標籤，貼上去就表示「這屬於汽車的世界」——工廠、雜誌、工程師、油漆都可以貼。automotive 不是拿來形容那台車本身，而是把別的東西歸到汽車這個領域裡。
