    「clothing」跟 clothes 都是「衣服」，但 clothing 是不可數名詞，用在「整體、一般在講衣服」的時候，語氣比較正式，例如 warm clothing（保暖衣物）、the clothing industry（成衣業）。要講「一件衣服」時，不能說 a clothing，要說 a piece of clothing 或 an item of clothing。clothes 則永遠是複數、比較日常。

Picture not a shirt or a coat but the whole category: everything people put on to cover the body, seen from a distance as one mass. That distance is why the word never counts individual items — it names the kind of thing, not the things.

可以想成：不是一件襯衫或一件外套，而是整個類別——人穿在身上遮蔽身體的所有東西，從遠處看成一整片。正因為是從遠處看，這個字從來不數件數；它指的是「這一類東西」，不是「這幾樣東西」。
