- 1nB1/ˈmɪləˌmiːtər/ · /ˈmɪləˌmiːtə/公釐；毫米
a unit for measuring length, used for very small distances. One metre is 1,000 millimetres, and one is 10 millimetres. It is written as mm.
示範例句 · Example
Our teacher asked us to measure each leaf in millimetres, not centimetres.
逐字我們的老師要求我們用公釐測量每一片葉子，而不是公分。
millimetre 是長度單位，用來量「很小」的東西——一公尺等於 1,000 公釐，一公分等於 10 公釐，寫的時候縮寫成 mm。台灣日常講「公釐」或「毫米」，量書本厚度、鉛筆芯、下雨量都會用到。這個字可以想成從字首 milli-（可以想成「千分之一」）長出來的：millimetre 是一公尺的千分之一，同一個想法也在 millilitre（毫升）和 milligram（毫克）裡。
