    示範例句 · Example

    Leo rides his motorbike to work every morning.

    逐字里歐每天早上騎他的機車去上班。

    motorbike 就是「有引擎的兩輪車」——人跨坐在上面騎，比汽車小、比腳踏車快。這個字可以想成 motor（引擎）＋ bike（兩輪車），就像腳踏車長出了一顆引擎。英國人日常最常說 motorbike，motorcycle 是比較完整、美式也常用的說法，兩個講的是同一種車。要注意台灣街上最多的那種小型速克達，英文通常叫 scooter；motorbike 泛指所有裝引擎的兩輪車，也包含它。

core核心畫面

Read the word as its two halves: a bike with a motor. Two wheels, an engine, one or two people sitting on it — smaller and more open than a car, and fast. The picture is completely transparent, and the word has only this one meaning.

可以想成把這個字拆成兩半來看：bike（腳踏車）加上 motor（引擎）——兩個輪子、一具引擎、一到兩個人跨坐上去。它比汽車小、整個人露在外面，而且跑得快。這個字的畫面完全寫在字面上，也只有這一個意思。
