1. 1nB1/duːˈveɪ/ · /ˈduːveɪ/羽絨被

    a warm cover for a bed, made of a big cloth bag filled with feathers or something soft like them, that you sleep under.

    示範例句 · Example

    It was cold, so Leo pulled the duvet up to his chin.

    逐字天氣很冷,所以里歐把羽絨被拉到他的下巴。

    「duvet」可以想成「一個大布袋,裡面塞滿羽毛或類似的軟填充物」——重點在「裡面有東西」,所以它蓬蓬的、很輕又很保暖。這一點就是 duvet 跟 blanket 最大的差別:blanket 是毯子,只有一層布,沒有填充;duvet 是被子,鼓鼓的一大包。英國人說 duvet,美國人同樣的東西多半說 comforter;外面套的那層可以拆下來洗的布叫 duvet cover(被套)。

core核心畫面

You can picture one big soft bag of feathers lying on the bed — light to lift, warm to sleep under, and thick enough that you need nothing else on top of it.

可以想成:床上那一大包蓬蓬的東西——一個布做的大袋子,裡面塞滿羽毛或類似的軟填充物,拿起來很輕,蓋著卻很暖。它自己一件就夠了,不必再疊毯子;外面通常再套一層可以拆下來洗的被套。
