    示範例句 · Example

    Ren's uncle decided to grow a moustache during the summer holiday.

    逐字任的叔叔決定在暑假期間留一撇小鬍子。

    moustache 專指男生長在「鼻子下面、上唇上面」那一小片鬍子，也就是中文說的小鬍子；兩邊往下垂的那種，中文會再叫得更細一點，說八字鬍。中文不管長在哪裡都叫「鬍子」，英文卻是用位置分字的：下巴和兩頰的是 beard，耳朵前面往下長的是 sideburns，上唇的才是 moustache。還有一件事要記：英式拼 moustache，美式拼 mustache，兩個是同一個字。
