喜樂美語
  1. 1nB1/fɔːrt/ · /fɔːt/堡壘 / 要塞

    A strong building that soldiers use to defend a place and keep enemies out.

    示範例句 · Example

    The soldiers stayed inside the fort all night to keep the town safe.

    逐字士兵們整晚待在堡壘裡，以保護城鎮的安全。

    「fort」是軍隊用來防守、擋住敵人的堅固建築，通常有厚厚的牆。它比 castle（貴族住的城堡）更偏「軍事用途」；小朋友用棉被、椅子堆出來玩的「堡壘」也叫 fort。

    常見搭配

    • an old fort

      Tourists like to climb around the old fort by the river.

    • a Roman fort

core核心畫面

A building made to be hard to get into: thick walls, few doors, high ground, soldiers inside. Everything about it is shaped by one question — how do we keep the other side out?

可以想成：一棟蓋來「不好進來」的建築：牆厚、門少、位置高、裡面駐著兵。它的每一個設計都在回答同一個問題——怎麼把對方擋在外面。跟 castle（城堡）的差別在於城堡同時是貴族的住所，fort 純粹是軍事用途。
