喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈbɑːrbərʃɑːp/ · /ˈbɑːbəʃɒp/close-harmony singing理髮廳四重唱

    A style of singing in which four people, usually men, sing a popular song together in close harmony, with no instruments playing.

    文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。

    這個 barbershop 講的是一種合唱風格：四個人（多半是男聲）不用任何樂器，光靠人聲把和弦疊出來，聽起來很厚很甜。它跟一般的 chorus 不同——barbershop 幾乎一定是四部，而且和聲貼得非常近。看到這個字後面接 quartet、harmony、singing，講的就是唱法，不是店。

  2. 2n/ˈbɑːrbərʃɑːp/ · /ˈbɑːbəʃɒp/barber's shop理髮店

    A shop where men and boys go to have their hair cut, and often to have a shave.

    文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。

    「barbershop」是美式英文裡「男生剪頭髮的店」，英式英文會寫成 barber's。它跟 hair salon 給人的畫面不一樣：barbershop 通常簡單、快、便宜，以剪短髮和修鬍子為主；salon 做染燙造型、男女都收、待得比較久。所以選 barbershop 這個字，等於順便告訴聽的人「就是去剪一下，不是去做造型」。台灣的「男仕理髮」「快剪」最接近這個感覺。
