- 1nA2/ˌskɑːtʃ ˈteɪp/透明膠帶

示範例句 · Example
Mei used Scotch tape to fix the torn page in her notebook.
逐字美用透明膠帶去修補她筆記本裡那張撕破的頁面。
This is the everyday see-through tape you tear off a roll. One side is sticky and the other side is smooth, so it presses flat onto paper and you can still see through it. It is made for light jobs: mending a torn page, closing a paper bag, holding wrapping paper shut. It is not the strong cloth tape used on boxes or pipes. The word began as a company's brand name, so you will see it written with a capital S and with a small s, and most speakers use it without thinking about the brand at all. Wiktionary marks this use for the US, Canada, the Philippines and Singapore, so it is a regional word rather than a worldwide one. It is uncountable: you do not say 'a Scotch tape'. To talk about an amount, say a piece of Scotch tape or a roll of Scotch tape.
Scotch tape 指那種薄薄的、看得透的膠帶。它一面有黏性，另一面滑滑的。貼上去以後，下面的字還看得見。它負責的都是輕活。像是黏破掉的書頁、封住紙袋、包禮物。它不是封箱用的那種厚膠帶。Scotch 本來是一個牌子的名字。用久了，大家就拿它來叫所有這種膠帶。所以聽到 Scotch tape，多半不是在指那個品牌。字典把這個說法標在美國、加拿大、菲律賓、新加坡。可見它有地區性，不是每個地方都這樣講。寫法上大寫 S 和小寫 s 都看得到。它是不可數名詞，不說 a Scotch tape。要講數量，就說 a piece of Scotch tape 或 a roll of Scotch tape。

core核心畫面
A thin see-through strip on a roll, sticky on one side. You tear a piece off, press it down with your thumb, and two light things — a torn page, a paper bag, wrapping paper — hold together while you can still see straight through the join.
From the word’s history
Recorded as a genericized trademark: early tape was said to have glue only along the edges, and the nickname 'Scotch' (a thrift stereotype) stuck to the product, then to the whole category.
字典記載這是變成通稱的商標：早期產品據說只在邊緣塗膠，被嫌太省，於是被冠上帶有「小氣」刻板印象的 Scotch，後來整類透明膠帶都被這樣叫。
