    「briefcase」是「裝文件用的扁平公事包」,常有把手,上班或開會的人提著走。核心畫面可以想成「專門裝紙本、資料夾的硬殼扁包」——比書包正式,比行李箱小很多。常見:leather briefcase、carry a briefcase、open your briefcase。跟 backpack / school bag 分開:那些多半裝書本、便當;briefcase 多半裝文件、報告。跟 suitcase 分開:suitcase 是旅行大行李箱。

core核心畫面

Picture a flat rectangular case with a handle on top, carried by the side rather than on the back. The flatness is the whole design: it is shaped for papers that must not bend. That is what separates it from a backpack or a — the contents are documents, not lunch.

可以想成:一個扁平的長方形硬殼包,上面有提把,是提在身側而不是背在背上的。「扁」就是它整個設計的重點:形狀是為了裝不能折到的紙。這也是它和後背包、托特包最大的差別——裡面裝的是文件,不是便當。
