  1. 1aB2/ˈriːdʒənəl/區域的 / 地方的

    Connected with one particular area or part of a country, not the whole country.

    示範例句 · Example

    Each area has its own regional food and special dishes.

    逐字每個地區都有它自己的地方食物和特色菜。

    「regional」形容「跟某一個地區、某一塊地方有關」，範圍比 national（全國的）小、比 local（小鎮、社區的）大。可以想成一個由大到小的階梯：national → regional → local。所以 regional food 是「某個地區的特色食物」，regional accent 是「某地的口音」，重點是「屬於一塊區域、不是全國通用的」。
