    A trackie is a — the soft matching top and trousers you wear for sport or for lounging at home. The word is casual, friendly, and strongly British and Australian; Americans do not really say it.

    A trackieTrackie is a tracksuit就是tracksuit(運動套裝) the soft matching top and trousers you wear for sport or for lounging at home你運動或在家放鬆時穿的那種柔軟、上下成套的上衣和褲子 The word這個字 is casual, friendly, and strongly British and Australian很隨性、很親切，而且強烈是英式和澳式用法 Americans do not really say it美國人不太這樣說

    It is the kind of English does all the time to make a word sound relaxed. You will hear it in speech and in texts far more than in writing, and often in the plural for just the trousers: 'trackies' or 'trackie bottoms' or 'trackie bums'.

    It這 is the kind of shortening English does all the time是英語一直在做的那種縮寫方式 to make a word sound relaxed讓一個字聽起來比較輕鬆 You will hear it in speech and in texts far more than in writing你會在口說和簡訊裡聽到它，遠比在書面文字裡多 and often in the plural for just the trousers而且常常用複數形式專指褲子 'trackies' or 'trackie bottoms' or 'trackie bums''trackies'或'trackie bottoms'或'trackie bums'

    Be aware it can carry a whiff of judgement in Britain, where 'in his trackies' can suggest someone who has not bothered to dress properly — though plenty of people say it with complete affection about their own comfortable clothes.

core核心畫面

組成從 tracksuit 砍掉後半段，再加上 -ie。英文很愛這樣做，把長字砍短再加 -ie 或 -y，聽起來就變得親切隨便，像 barbecue → barbie、Australian → Aussie。
