  1. 1nB1/dʒiˈɑːmətri/ · /dʒiˈɒmətri/幾何（學）

    The part of maths that studies lines, angles, shapes, and the space they take up.

    示範例句 · Example

    In geometry class, we learned how to measure the angles of a triangle.

    逐字在幾何課上，我們學了如何測量三角形的角度。

    「geometry」是數學裡專門研究「形狀、線條、角度和空間」的部分——三角形、圓形、方塊都是它的題材。這個字來自希臘文「測量土地」，可以想成最早的人用它來量田地、蓋房子。也可以指某個物體「形狀和線條的排列方式」。

    常見搭配

    • do geometry

      做幾何（題）

      to study or work on geometry

      We're doing geometry this week.

    • the geometry of something

      某物的形狀結構

      the shape and arrangement of lines in something

      the geometry of a snowflake

You can picture the branch of maths that deals with the shapes of space itself — points, lines, angles, circles, boxes — and how much room they take up and how they fit together. It's the study of form and space.

可以想成數學裡專門處理「空間形狀」的那一支——點、線、角、圓、立體——以及它們佔多少空間、怎麼拼合在一起。也就是研究形狀與空間的學問。
