- 1nB2/ˈdɑːtər ɪn lɑː/ · /ˈdɔːtə(r) ɪn lɔː/媳婦
the woman who is married to your son.
示範例句 · Example
Mrs. Lin makes dumplings with her daughter-in-law every Sunday.
逐字林太太每個星期天和她的媳婦一起做水餃。
「daughter-in-law」就是「兒子的太太」，也就是中文說的「媳婦」。字尾的 -in-law 可以想成「因為一場婚禮才多出來的家人」——不是生出來的女兒，而是兒子結婚以後，家裡多了一個女兒。同一個做法可以套到 son-in-law（女婿）、mother-in-law（婆婆／岳母）、father-in-law（公公／岳父），學會一個就看得懂一整排。要注意講的人是誰：對「兒子的太太」來說，她自己不是 daughter-in-law，是「別人的」daughter-in-law——這個詞永遠從公婆那一邊看出去。

core核心畫面
Your son's wife. The -in-law part marks a family tie that came from a marriage rather than from birth: she is placed in the daughter position of your family by law, not by blood. The same piece works across the whole set — son-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law.
