    示範例句 · Example

    I learned to sew at school in craft class.

    逐字我在學校的美勞課學會了縫紉。

    「sew」是用針和線把布料縫起來：可以做衣服、補破洞，或把鈕扣縫上去。核心畫面可以想成「針帶著線一次一次穿過布，把東西固定在一起」。常見說法有 sew on a button（縫上鈕扣）、sew something together（把兩片縫在一起）。跟 stitch 很近——stitch 多半指「一針／針腳」或那一下縫的動作；sew 比較常講整段「做針線活」。mend 偏「修好壞掉的東西」；embroider 是用線繡花當裝飾，不是主要在接合布料。

core核心畫面

Picture a needle going down through the cloth and up again, pulling a thread behind it, over and over, until two pieces that were loose are held together. That in-and-out line of thread is the whole word: joining cloth with a needle. Do it by hand or on a machine — it is still sewing.

可以想成針帶著線，一下一上穿過布，走出一排線腳，把原本分開的兩片布拉在一起。這個字的畫面比較像那條線：用針線把布接起來。手縫也好，用縫紉機也好，都叫 sew。它管的是「布」——所以縫衣服、縫扣子、把破洞縫起來都用它，但用膠帶黏、用釘書機釘就不是了。
