1. 1nA2/ˈɡrænˌdɒːtər/ · /ˈɡrænˌdɔːtə/孫女/外孫女

    The daughter of your son, or the daughter of your daughter. English uses the same word for both sides of the family, and it is said from the side: the girl is your granddaughter, and you are her grandmother or grandfather.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mrs. Chen walks her six-year-old granddaughter to school every morning.

    逐字陳太太每天早上走路帶她六歲的孫女去學校。

    granddaughter 就是你的孫輩裡的女生——你兒子的女兒,或你女兒的女兒,英文兩邊都用同一個字。grand- 可以想成家族樹上的「一層樓」:grandma、grandpa 是往上一層,granddaughter、grandson 就是往下一層,great-granddaughter 再往下一層。這個字是站在阿公阿嬤那邊講的:Mei 是林太太的 granddaughter,反過來林太太是 Mei 的 grandmother;同樣兩個人,看誰在說話就換一個字。不分男女、只說「孫子孫女」時用 grandchild。

core核心畫面

Think of the same three rows of a family — you, your children, their children — and pick out the girl in that third row: your son's daughter, or your daughter's daughter.

可以想成家族的三排:你、你的小孩、你小孩生的小孩;granddaughter 就是站在第三排的那個女孩。她可能是兒子生的,也可能是女兒生的,英文不分這兩邊。字本身也把畫面說清楚了——grand 標示隔了一代,daughter 標示是女的。

複數 granddaughters
