1. 1(以物易物的)二手衣交換活動、換衣派對。大家把不穿的衣服帶來互換,不用錢。台灣近年也有這種活動,多半直接叫「舊衣交換」「衣物交換派對」。

    A clothes-swap party. People bring clothes, bags, or shoes they no longer wear, put them all together, and take home things other people brought. Nobody pays; you just swap.

    A clothes-swap party一種交換衣服的聚會。People大家 bring clothes, bags, or shoes they no longer wear帶不穿的衣服、包包,或鞋子過來,put them all together全部放在一起,and take home things other people brought然後帶走別人帶來的東西。Nobody pays沒有人付錢;you just swap就只是交換。

    It is done partly to get "new" clothes for free and partly for the planet — the fewer clothes we buy, the less waste. The word came out of Britain in the 2000s and is used most in fashion writing, charity events, and green living. It is a friendly, light word — it sounds like the noise silk makes when it moves, which is exactly the feeling the people who made it up wanted.

    It它 is done partly to get "new" clothes for free這樣做一部分是為了免費拿到「新」衣服,and partly for the planet一部分是為了地球——the fewer clothes we buy, the less waste我們買的衣服越少,浪費就越少。The word這個字 came out of Britain in the 2000s出現在2000年代的英國,and is used most in fashion writing, charity events, and green living最常用在時尚寫作、慈善活動,和環保生活裡。It它 is a friendly, light word是個親切、輕鬆的字——it sounds like the noise silk makes when it moves聽起來就像絲綢移動時發出的聲音,which is exactly the feeling the people who made it up wanted而這正是造這個字的人想要的感覺。

    You will see "a swishing party", "a swishing event", or the verb: "we swished last weekend". Be aware that "swishing" much more often just means the -ing form of the ordinary verb "swish": moving with a soft brushing sound. A cow's tail swishing, a long skirt swishing on the floor, a basketball swishing through the net. The clothes-swap meaning is a small, newer, specialist use sitting on top of that ordinary one, and you can nearly always tell which is meant from what else is in the sentence.

    You你 will see "a swishing party", "a swishing event"會看到「a swishing party」、「a swishing event」,or the verb或動詞:"we swished last weekend"「we swished last weekend」。Be aware要注意 that "swishing" much more often just means「swishing」更常只是 the -ing form of the ordinary verb "swish"普通動詞「swish」的-ing形式:moving with a soft brushing sound帶著輕柔摩擦聲移動。A cow's tail swishing牛尾巴swishing、a long skirt swishing on the floor長裙在地板上swishing、a basketball swishing through the net籃球swishing穿過籃網。The clothes-swap meaning交換衣服這個意思,is a small, newer, specialist use sitting on top of that ordinary one是疊在那個普通意思上面、比較新、比較專門的一個小用法,and you can nearly always tell which is meant你幾乎總能判斷出它指的是哪一個 from what else is in the sentence從句子裡其他的內容。
