One thousand metres, used as a standard measure of distance.
示範例句 · Example
Mei lives about two kilometres from school.
逐字美住在離學校大約兩公里的地方。
「kilometre」是公制裡量距離的單位「公里」，等於一千公尺；英式拼 kilometre，美式寫 kilometer，意思一樣，縮寫都是 km。核心畫面可以想成「一千公尺那麼長的一段路」。常見說法：five kilometres away（五公里遠）、a ten-kilometre walk（十公里的步行）、kilometres an hour（每小時幾公里）。跟 mile（英里）容易搞混——mile 比較長，大約 1.6 公里。
