  1. 1nA2/ˈdʒuːəlri/首飾；珠寶

    small pretty things such as rings, necklaces, or that you wear on your body to look nice. They are often made of gold, silver, or stones.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei keeps all her jewellery in a small wooden box beside her bed.

    逐字美把她所有的首飾都放在她床邊一個小小的木盒子裡。

    「jewellery」指的是「戴在身上的小裝飾品」——戒指、項鍊、耳環、手鍊都算，材質可以是金、銀，也可以是便宜的珠子。可以想成它就像從 jewel（一顆寶石）長出來的字：一顆是 jewel，戴在身上的那些小東西合起來就是 jewellery。最重要的一點：它是不可數名詞，永遠沒有複數，也不說 a jewellery；要數的時候用 a piece of jewellery（一件首飾）。英式拼 jewellery，美式拼 jewelry，是同一個字的兩種寫法。

core核心畫面

You can picture this as the small, shiny things a person puts on the body to look good — a ring on a finger, a chain at the neck, a pair of . The word is a collective one: it names the whole category at once, not one piece, which is why people say 'some jewellery' rather than 'a jewellery'.

可以想成戴在身上、會發亮的小東西的總稱：手指上的戒指、脖子上的項鍊、耳朵上的耳環，常見的材質是金、銀或寶石。它是一個「集合名詞」，一次指整類東西而不是單一件，所以英文裡會說 some jewellery、a piece of jewellery，而不會說 a jewellery。
