underwear (women's) · noun · B1
A piece of underwear that women and girls wear under their clothes, covering the area between the waist and the top of the legs. This word is used in British English.
內褲（女用）
You can picture knickers as the clothing that sits closest to the body between the waist and the top of the legs — women's underwear in British English. The word only ever comes in the plural, like trousers or shorts, because it names a two-leg-hole garment; and because underwear is private, English keeps reaching for it whenever it wants a slightly comic, image.
可以想成貼在身上最裡面那一層、蓋住腰到大腿上端的衣物——在英式英語裡就是女生的內褲。這個字永遠是複數，跟 trousers、shorts 一樣，因為它指的是有兩個褲管口的東西。另外，因為內褲屬於私密的、有點難為情的東西，英語一想製造好笑又不體面的畫面時，就常常把它抓出來用。
