    A coat that you wear to keep rain off your body.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei put on her yellow raincoat before she left for school.

    逐字美在她離開去學校之前穿上她的黃色雨衣。

    「raincoat」是「專門擋雨的外套」，中文就說「雨衣」。它是可數名詞：a raincoat, two raincoats。核心畫面可以想成「給雨天穿的大衣」——rain + coat 合在一起，幫你記住它是穿在身上擋雨的衣服。跟 umbrella 分開：umbrella 是撐在頭上的傘；raincoat 是穿在身上的外套。跟一般 coat 分開：coat 可以只是保暖；raincoat 特別為了不讓雨淋濕。常見：wear a raincoat、put on a raincoat、a yellow / plastic raincoat。
