1. 1aA2/ˌraɪt ˈhænd/右邊的;右側的

    on the right side of something, or on the right side when you are looking at it. It always comes before a noun, as in the right-hand side of a page or the right-hand corner.

    示範例句 · Example

    Write your name in the top right-hand corner of the paper.

    逐字把你的名字寫在紙的右上角。

    「right-hand」是用來說「東西在右邊」的形容詞,相反詞是 left-hand。最常見的說法是 right-hand side(右邊、右側)和 top / bottom right-hand corner(右上角/右下角)。它只能放在名詞前面:可以說 the right-hand side,但不會說 the side is right-hand。可以想成:站著面對一樣東西,你右手那一邊就是它的 right-hand side——這個字就像從「你的右手」長出來的。

core核心畫面

Imagine standing in front of a page or a room and holding out your right hand. Everything on that side — that edge of the page, that corner of the room, that lane of the road — is the right-hand one. The body becomes the ruler: your own right hand marks off which side is being talked about.

可以想成:你面對一頁紙或一個房間,把右手伸出去,右手那一側的東西——那個邊、那個角落、那條車道——就是 right-hand 的。這個字等於把身體當成尺,用「你自己的右手在哪一邊」來指出說的是哪一側。它一定放在名詞前面,像 the right-hand side of the page、the top right-hand corner。
