喜樂美語

One way to picture meter: a dial that keeps count of how much has gone through — gas, water, electricity, minutes of parking. Whatever it counts, somebody is usually going to charge for it. Note that in American spelling this same form is also the unit of length that British English as metre.

可以想成 meter 是一個一直在數的錶：數瓦斯、數水、數電，或數你停了幾分鐘的車。不管數的是什麼，後面通常都有人要照這個數字收錢。另外要注意：美式拼法裡，同一個 meter 也是長度單位「公尺」，英式英文則寫成 metre。
