- 1nA2/ˈsɪɡəˌret/ · /ˌsɪɡəˈret/香菸
a thin tube of thin paper filled with cut-up tobacco, which people light at one end and breathe the smoke from.
示範例句 · Example
A sign by the door says that cigarettes are not allowed inside the museum.
逐字門邊的一個牌子說香菸在博物館裡面是不被允許的。
cigarette 指的是「那一根東西」——薄薄的紙捲著菸草，點燃一端來抽的那個小紙管，中文說「香菸」「菸」。它是可數名詞，一根一根算：a cigarette、two cigarettes、a packet of cigarettes（一包菸）。三個容易混在一起的字可以這樣分：cigarette 是細細的紙捲菸；cigar 是粗粗的、整支用菸葉捲成的雪茄；tobacco 是裡面的菸草本身，是不可數的原料；smoking 則是「抽菸」這個行為。所以「他戒菸了」講的是 smoking，不是 cigarette。
core核心畫面
Picture a thin white paper tube, about as long as a finger, packed with shredded tobacco. You light one end, and breathe in the smoke from the other. It is a single small object made to be used once and thrown away — which is why so much of the language around it counts them one at a time: have a cigarette, light a cigarette, twenty a day.
