- 1nB1/ɪkˈstɪŋɡwɪʃər/ · /ɪkˈstɪŋɡwɪʃə/滅火器
A metal can filled with water or special powder that you use to put out a small fire.
示範例句 · Example
Every floor at school has a fire extinguisher near the stairs.
逐字學校的每一層樓在樓梯附近都有一個滅火器。
「extinguisher」就是「滅火器」：一個裝著水或特殊粉末的金屬罐子，用來撲滅小型火苗。英文日常幾乎都說 fire extinguisher（消防／滅火器），單獨說 extinguisher 時，聽的人也多半想到同一樣東西。核心畫面可以想成「把火弄滅的罐子」——字尾 -er 帶有「做這件事的東西」的感覺；是記憶鉤子，不是詞源。它跟 extinguish（動詞：把火撲滅）容易連在一起：extinguish 是動作，extinguisher 是工具。
