- 1nA2/taɪr/ · /taɪə/輪胎
The thick rubber ring that fits around the outside of a wheel on a car, bicycle, bus, or other vehicle. It is filled with air, and it grips the road as the wheel turns.
示範例句 · Example
Dad found a flat tyre on the car this morning, so we walked to school.
逐字爸爸今天早上在車上發現一個沒氣的輪胎，所以我們走路去學校。
tyre 指的是套在輪子外面那一圈厚厚的橡膠，不是整個輪子——整個輪子是 wheel，外面那圈黑黑的橡膠才是 tyre。可以想成：因為它是「一圈裝了空氣的橡膠」，所以英文講到 tyre 的事情幾乎都跟這圈橡膠有關——氣跑掉了叫 a flat tyre（沒氣的輪胎）、磨平了叫 a bald tyre、車上多帶一個備用的叫 a spare tyre。另外要記得：英式英文寫 tyre，美式英文寫 tire，唸法和意思完全一樣。
