喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/ˈsʌn ɪn lɑː/ · /ˈsʌn ɪn lɔː/女婿

    the man who is married to your daughter.

    示範例句 · Example

    My son-in-law drives us to the morning market every Sunday.

    逐字我的女婿每個星期天開車載我們去早市。

    英文沒有像中文「女婿」那樣的單一個字，而是用 son（兒子）加上 -in-law 拼出來。-in-law 可以想成「因為結婚而多出來的家人」——不是生出來的，是婚姻帶來的，所以女兒的先生就被叫成「法律上的兒子」。同一條線也長出 daughter-in-law（媳婦）、mother-in-law（婆婆／岳母）、brother-in-law（姊夫、妹夫、大伯…）。複數要說 sons-in-law，-s 加在 son 上面，不是加在最後。

core核心畫面

Picture your family table with one more chair at it. The man in that chair married your daughter, so he counts as a son to you — not by blood, but by the marriage that brought him in. That is what the -in-law part says: this tie comes from law, not birth.

可以想成你家餐桌旁多出一張椅子。坐在那裡的男人娶了你女兒，從此就算你的「兒子」——不是生出來的，是這樁婚事把他帶進來的。-in-law 這個尾巴講的正是這件事：這層關係來自法律上的成立，不是血緣。同一組還有 daughter-in-law（媳婦）、mother-in-law（岳母／婆婆），拆法都一樣。

複數 sons-in-law
