    Someone whose home is far from work, making the trip there and back daily.

    示範例句 · Example

    Every morning, thousands of daily commuters pour into Taipei.

    逐字每一個早上，成千上萬的每日通勤者湧進台北。

    「commuter」指「每天走一段比較遠的路去上班的人」，台灣常說「通勤者」或「通勤族」。核心畫面可以想成「住家和工作地之間，天天固定往返的人」——重點是為了上班、幾乎每天都走同一段路。跟 tourist 分開：tourist 是去玩；跟 passenger 分開：passenger 只說「坐在車上的人」，不一定天天上班；traveller 比較廣，任何長途旅行都算。

core核心畫面

Picture the 7:40 train: the same faces every morning, coffee in hand, doing the journey between home and work that they will do again tonight and again tomorrow. The word names a person by that repeated journey, not by their job.

可以想成：早上七點四十的那班車——每天都是那幾張臉，手上拿著咖啡，走著今晚還要再走一次、明天還要再走一次的那段路。這個字是用「那段重複的路程」來定義一個人，跟他做什麼工作無關。
