    Can I borrow your scissors? I need to cut out this photo.

    逐字我可以借你的剪刀嗎？我需要剪下這張照片。

    英文的 scissors 永遠是複數形，沒有 a scissor 這種說法。可以想成：剪刀是「兩片刀刃」合在一起才剪得動，少一片就沒用了，所以英文把它看成一組成雙的東西，就像 trousers（褲子）、glasses（眼鏡）一樣。要數的時候用 pair：a pair of scissors 是一把、two pairs of scissors 是兩把；當主詞時動詞也用複數，例如 These scissors are sharp.（不是 is）。

core核心畫面

Picture two blades pinned together at the middle, crossing like an X. You put a finger and thumb in the two rings and squeeze; the blades close past each other and whatever thin thing sits between them — paper, cloth, a piece of tape — is cut. The whole tool is really one pair working against each other.

可以想成一個 X：兩片刀刃在中間被一根軸釘住，尾端各有一個圈給拇指和其他手指套進去。你一夾，兩片刀刃互相錯過去，夾在中間的薄東西——紙、布、膠帶——就被切開了。關鍵在「一對」互相咬合，少一片就什麼也剪不動；也因為它天生成對，英文永遠是複數的 scissors，要講一把會說 a pair of scissors。
