喜樂美語

    口語Your grandfather — the father of your mother or your father. This is the usual American spelling; British writing more often uses 'grandad', with one d.

    示範例句 · Example

    My granddad walks me to school every Friday morning.

    逐字我的爺爺每個星期五早上走路陪我上學。

    granddad 是小孩子叫祖父時最親、最自然的說法，比 grandfather 口語得多，帶著感情。它跟英式拼法 grandad 是同一個字、同一個意思，美式寫法多一個 d。英文的 granddad 不分爺爺還是外公，兩邊都這樣叫；真的要說清楚是哪一位，才會加一句 my dad's dad（我爸爸的爸爸）。直接叫他的時候要大寫，像名字一樣：Granddad, look!

core核心畫面

Think of the warm, everyday name a family actually says out loud for grandfather — the word a child calls across the room, not the word on a form.

可以想成：這是家裡真的會喊出口的那個稱呼。同一個人，寫在文件上是 grandfather，小孩衝過去抱住時喊的是 granddad。畫面比較像客廳裡那一聲叫喚，帶著親近的口氣，而不是登記表上的欄位。
