    示範例句 · Example

    Grandma keeps a clean handkerchief in her pocket every day.

    逐字奶奶每天在她的口袋裡放一條乾淨的手帕。

    handkerchief 是「布做的小方巾」，隨身帶著，用來擦鼻子或擦眼淚。重點在布：用完可以洗一洗再用，跟 tissue（面紙，用一次就丟）不一樣。這個字可以想成 hand + kerchief——kerchief 本來是蓋在頭上的布，而 handkerchief 就像是把那塊布縮小、拿在手上帶著走。

core核心畫面

A small square of cloth you keep in a pocket or bag, ready to wipe your nose or your eyes. Not a tissue you throw away — a piece of cloth that belongs to you and gets washed and used again.

可以想成一塊隨身摺好放在口袋或包包裡的小方巾，需要的時候拿出來擤鼻涕、擦眼淚。跟用完就丟的面紙不同，它是屬於你的一塊布，洗過還會再用；也因為這樣，遞一條 handkerchief 給正在哭的人，本身就是個帶著親近感的動作。
