Two letters standing in for a longer word on a written line — a name tag or an address label where the full word would take too much room. Which long word Dr stands for depends on where it sits: in front of a name it is Doctor; at the end of a street name it is Drive.
可以想成寫在紙上的兩個字母，替一個比較長的字站崗——名牌上、地址欄裡，完整寫出來太佔位置，就縮成 Dr。它到底代表哪個長字，要看它站在哪裡：站在名字前面是 Doctor，接在街名後面是 Drive。這個字幾乎只出現在書寫裡，唸出來時還是把整個長字唸完。
