  1. 1nA2/mæθ/數學

    The study of numbers, shapes, and amounts; the short American English word for mathematics.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo is really good at math and science.

    逐字里歐真的很擅長數學和自然科學。

    「math」是美式英文對「數學」的簡稱，英式英文則說 maths（多一個 s）。它是不可數名詞，所以說 Math is fun，不說 a math 或 maths are。上數學課是 math class、算數學題是 do the math。

    常見搭配

    • good at math

      able to do maths well

      Aisha has always been good at math.

core核心畫面

Picture the school subject where everything is numbers, shapes and amounts — and also the everyday sense of working a sum out in your head. Math is simply the short American name for mathematics; the long word is the formal one and hardly anyone says it in conversation.

可以想成：那個滿是數字、圖形與數量的學科——也包括日常裡「算一下」這件事。math 只是 mathematics 在美式英文裡的簡稱；完整的那個字偏正式，日常對話幾乎沒有人會整個講出來。
