喜樂美語
  1. 1nB1/ˈwɔːrənti/ · /ˈwɒrənti/保固

    A written promise from a company that it will fix or replace something you bought if it breaks within a set time.

    示範例句 · Example

    The car is still under warranty, so the shop will fix it for free.

    逐字那輛車仍然在保固之下，所以那間店會免費修理它。

    warranty 最核心的意思是「賣家寫下來的保固承諾」——在約定時間內，東西壞了公司會修或換。臺灣口語常說「保固」；英文 under warranty 就是「還在保固期內」。跟 guarantee 容易搞混——guarantee 也可以講各種保證（像滿意就退錢），warranty 比較常指產品的書面保固。畫面可以想成：買東西時附上一張「時間內壞了我們負責」的紙。

The slip of paper that comes in the box with a new phone: if this stops working within two years, we will fix it or give you a new one. It is a promise with a clock on it — written down, and only good until the time runs out.

可以想成：新手機盒子裡附的那張紙——「兩年內壞掉，我們負責修或換」。它是一個「有時效的書面承諾」：寫下來才算數，過了期限就失效。這兩點（白紙黑字、有期限）就是 warranty 跟一般口頭保證不一樣的地方。
