  1. 1n/bəˈkiːni/比基尼

    a set of clothes that women wear for swimming, made of two parts: a top part that covers the chest, and a bottom part.

    「bikini」是女生游泳時穿的兩件式泳衣：上面一件、下面一件。雖然它由兩塊布組成，英文卻把它當成「一套」來數，所以說 a bikini、two bikinis。要分開講兩個部分時，才會說 bikini top（上半件）和 bikini bottoms（下半件，習慣用複數）；如果是連在一起的整件泳衣，英文叫 one-piece（swimsuit）。

Wiktionary

One idea to hold: a built in two separate pieces — a top and a bottom — with the middle of the body left bare. The word names the two-part shape, not the fabric or the fashion.

一套「分成兩截」的女性泳裝——上面一片遮胸，下面一片遮下身，中間那段身體是露出來的。這個字抓住的不是布料、也不是流行款式，而是「兩件式」這個形狀本身。跟連身泳裝（one-piece）最大的差別就在那道中間的空隙。
