    示範例句 · Example

    Please stay on the sidewalk — cars use the street.

    逐字請待在人行道上——車子使用街道。

    「sidewalk」是美式英語裡的「人行道」——馬路旁邊、專門給人走的硬路面。How can we think of sidewalk? 核心畫面可以想成「在 street 的 side（旁邊），給人 walk（走）」：side + walk 合起來，意思就很好記。英式英語同一個東西叫 pavement；美式 pavement 常指「鋪好的路面」本身，跟「人行道」不是同一個意思。常見說法：on the sidewalk、walk along the sidewalk、stand on the sidewalk。

core核心畫面

Picture the raised strip beside the road where cars are not allowed — a paved lane for feet only, running along the edge. The name says exactly that: a walk, at the side.

可以想成：路邊那條高起來、車子不能上去的帶狀道路——鋪好的，只給腳走，沿著路的邊緣延伸。這個名字就把它說完了：side（旁邊）＋ walk（走的地方）。
