    Belonging to the land right beside the sea, or to the water just off it.

    示範例句 · Example

    We spent our holiday in a small coastal town where you can hear the waves at night.

    逐字我們在一個小小的沿海城鎮度過假期,晚上你可以聽見海浪聲。

    「coastal」是形容詞,用來說某個地方或東西「在海邊、靠著海岸」。可以想成從 coast(海岸)加上 -al「長出來」的字,意思就是「跟海岸有關的」。例如 coastal town(沿海城鎮)、coastal waters(近海海域)。它跟 inland(內陸的)剛好相反,而 coast 是名詞(海岸本身),coastal 是形容詞。

core核心畫面

One way to see it: a strip of land running along the edge where sea meets ground. Anything in that strip — a town, a road, a wind, a fishing boat — can be called coastal. It says "belonging to that edge", not simply "wet" or "in the sea".

可以想成海與陸地相接的那一條邊,以及沿著它延伸出去的一長條地帶。位在這條帶子上的東西都可以叫 coastal——城鎮、公路、風、漁船。它說的是「屬於這條邊」,不是「在海裡」;海裡的東西英文會用 marine 或 sea。
