喜樂美語
  1. 1nB1/ˈwɪndskriːn/擋風玻璃

    the big window of glass at the front of a car, bus, or , that the driver looks through while driving.

    示範例句 · Example

    Dad cleaned the windscreen before we drove to the beach.

    逐字爸爸在我們開車去海邊之前清了擋風玻璃。

    windscreen 指的是車子最前面那一大片玻璃——司機就是透過它看路的。這個字可以想成 wind（風）＋ screen（屏幕）合起來：就像在車子前面立起一面擋住風的屏幕，風、雨、灰塵打在玻璃上，不會打在司機臉上，但司機還是看得到外面。要注意英式英文說 windscreen，美式英文說 windshield，兩個指同一片玻璃；台灣的課本和考題兩種都會出現。

core核心畫面

The name says what it does: a screen against the wind. Sitting in the driver's seat, the big sheet of glass in front of your face lets you see the road while it stops the air, rain, dust, and insects from hitting you at speed. It is the front window of the car, not the side ones and not the back one.

可以從字面拆開看：wind（風）＋ screen（擋著的一片）——擋風的那一片。畫面比較像你坐在駕駛座上，臉前面那塊大玻璃：看得見路，但高速衝過來的風、雨、灰塵和蟲都被它擋在外面。它專指車子「正前方」那一片，旁邊的窗戶叫 window，後面那片叫 rear window，不共用這個字。這是英式說法，美式英文同一個東西叫 windshield。
