喜樂美語
  1. 1nA2/ˈdɔːrmæn/ · /ˈdɔːmæn/門童；門房

    a man in a uniform who works at the door of a hotel, club, or apartment building, greets people, lets them in, and helps them find taxis.

    示範例句 · Example

    A uniformed doorman smiled and opened the hotel door for Mei.

    逐字一位穿制服的門童微笑，並且為美打開了旅館的門。

    「doorman」是「穿制服站在旅館、俱樂部或公寓大門口的人」，台灣飯店常說門童，大樓入口也常說門房。核心畫面可以想成「門口那位幫你開門、點頭打招呼、幫忙叫車的人」。跟 concierge、security guard 分開記：doorman 主戰場在大門外（開門、迎接、叫計程車）；hotel concierge 多在裡面幫你訂餐廳、買票；security guard 比較偏安全看守。複數是 doormen，不是 doormans。

core核心畫面

Picture the man standing at the front door of a hotel in a uniform, often with gloves and a cap. He is not a guard and not a receptionist — his whole job happens right at that door: he opens it, says good evening, carries your bag in, steps out to the street and a taxi down for you. The word is simply 'the door' plus 'the man who belongs to it'.

可以想成飯店大門口那位穿制服的人，常常還戴著手套和帽子。他不是警衛，也不是櫃檯——他整份工作就發生在那扇門邊：幫你把門拉開、招呼一聲、把行李提進去，再走到路邊幫你攔一輛計程車。這個字就是 door（門）加上 man（人）：屬於那扇門的那個人。
