  1. 1nA1/ˈtraʊzərz/ · /ˈtraʊzəz/長褲

    A piece of clothing that you wear on the lower half of your body, from your waist down towards your feet, with a separate part covering each leg.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo's new trousers were a little too long, so his dad turned them up.

    逐字里歐的新長褲有一點太長了，所以他爸爸把它們捲了上去。

    「trousers」就是我們說的長褲——腰部以下穿的、兩隻腳各有一個褲管的那件衣服。它在英文裡永遠是複數：These trousers are new.（不說 This trouser is new.）；要講「一件」就用 a pair of trousers。可以想成：這件衣服雖然是一件，但它長出「兩個褲管」，所以英文把它看成一對，就像 scissors（剪刀）、glasses（眼鏡）、shorts（短褲）一樣。另外，trousers 是英式說法，美式多用 pants；在英國 pants 反而是指內褲，所以說話對象是英國人時，用 trousers 最保險。

core核心畫面

You can picture one piece of clothing for the lower half of the body: it starts at the waist and runs down towards the feet, with a separate tube of cloth around each leg. Because there are two leg-tubes, the word stays plural — you say a pair of trousers, and these trousers, never a trouser.

可以想成一件從腰穿到腳的衣服，兩條腿各自套進一管布裡。因為腿有兩管，這個字永遠是複數形：要講一件就說 a pair of trousers，句子裡用 these trousers are…，不會說 a trouser。這是英式的講法，美式日常多用 pants（而 pants 在英式英語裡是內褲，容易誤會）。
