- 1aA2/ˌleft ˈhænd/左邊的
On the left side of something. You put it in front of a noun to say which side of a street, a page, a room, or a thing you mean.
示範例句 · Example
Write your name in the top left-hand corner of the paper.
逐字把你的名字寫在紙的上面左邊的角落。
「left-hand」是形容詞，放在名詞前面，用來指出「哪一邊」——左邊那一邊。可以想成：左手在的那一側，後來就變成所有東西「左邊」的名字，所以街道有 left-hand side，紙有 left-hand corner，表格有 left-hand column。它跟 left-handed 很容易搞混——left-hand 說的是「東西在哪一邊」，left-handed 說的是「一個人習慣用哪隻手」。相反詞是 right-hand。
