    示範例句 · Example

    On the map, Ireland sits just west of Great Britain, with the Irish Sea in between.

    逐字在地圖上，愛爾蘭就位在大不列顛的西邊，中間有愛爾蘭海。

    Ireland 是大不列顛島西邊的那座大島，中間隔著愛爾蘭海（the Irish Sea）。島上分成兩塊：北邊的 Northern Ireland 屬於英國（the UK），南邊的 the Republic of Ireland 從 1921 年起是自己的國家。可以想成這個字有兩個尺度——地圖上的整座島，和平常講話時多半指的那個國家；看上下文就知道是哪一個，像 Northern Ireland is in Ireland 用的是「整座島」那一層。這座島綠得出名，所以還有個別名叫 the Emerald Isle。

core核心畫面

A place name: the large island just west of Great Britain, with the Irish Sea in between. One island, but two political parts — Northern Ireland belongs to the UK, and the Republic of Ireland has been a separate country since 1921. So the word can point at the whole island, or, in everyday talk, just at the Republic.

這是一個地名：大不列顛島西邊的那座大島，中間隔著愛爾蘭海。可以想成一座島、兩個政治區塊——北邊的北愛爾蘭屬於英國，南邊的愛爾蘭共和國從 1921 年起是獨立國家。所以聽到 Ireland 要看情境：地理上可能指整座島，但日常對話裡常常只是指愛爾蘭共和國（首都都柏林）。人和形容詞都用 Irish。
