1. 1aB2/ˈkɔːdləs/無線的

    Working without a wire, so you can move it around freely while you use it.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei used a cordless phone so she could walk around the house while talking.

    逐字美用一支無線電話,這樣她講電話時可以在屋子裡走來走去。

    cordless 由 cord(電線、繩子)加上 -less(沒有)組成,所以字面就是「沒有線的」。可以想成把一條原本綁在牆上插座的尾巴剪掉,東西就能自由帶著走。常用在 cordless phone(無線電話)、cordless drill(無線電鑽)這類本來要插電的工具上;它強調的是「不用拖著電線」,跟 wireless 很像,但 cordless 多半指「不用接電源線/充電後可帶著走」。

core核心畫面

You can picture a phone or a drill with no wire trailing from it — the cord is gone, so you can carry it and move it around freely while you use it.

可以想成一支電話或一台電鑽,後面沒有拖著一條線:cord 是「電線」,加上 -less(沒有)就成了「沒有線的」。畫面比較像你拿著它到處走、邊走邊用都不會被一條線綁住——這就是 cordless 的核心。
