    示範例句 · Example

    We put up our tent before it got dark.

    逐字我們在天黑之前把我們的帳篷撐起來。

    「tent」是露營時睡覺的地方:一塊布或防水的布,用營柱和繩子撐開,就成了一個可以躲雨、可以睡覺的小空間。它最核心的畫面可以想成「一塊被拉開、撐起來的布」——所以英文講「搭帳篷」都用往上撐的動詞:put up a tent、pitch a tent;收起來則是 take down a tent。tent 是可數名詞,要說 a tent、two tents。

core核心畫面

Picture cloth stretched over and to the ground — a room you carry on your back and put up wherever you stop for the night. It has no floorplan and no address; the whole point is that it goes up in ten minutes and comes down again.

可以想成:一塊布撐在幾根桿子上,四角釘進土裡——一個背在身上的房間,走到哪、晚上停在哪就搭在哪。它沒有格局,也沒有地址;重點就在於十分鐘搭得起來,也拆得掉。
