    「sweater」是英文裡很常用的「毛衣」——一件暖暖的、通常有長袖、蓋住上半身的針織上衣。核心畫面可以想成「穿在身上、幫你保暖的針織上衣」。美式英語常說 sweater；英式英語同類型衣服常說 jumper。跟 cardigan（開襟、前面有扣子）比起來，sweater 更常指套頭穿的那一種；跟 sweatshirt（棉質運動衫、常較厚）比起來，sweater 更常是針織、毛料的感覺。

One way to picture it: the warm knitted top you pull over your head when the temperature drops. Long sleeves, wool or thick cotton, covering you from the neck to the waist — the layer that goes on before the coat.

可以想成天一冷就從頭套上去的那件保暖上衣：長袖，羊毛或厚棉的，從脖子蓋到腰。它是外套之前的那一層。中文說「毛衣」。
