A blazer is a smart jacket that is not quite a matching suit jacketblazer是一種正式的外套,但又不完全是成套西裝的那種上衣。The classic one is navy, with metal buttons, and sometimes a badge on the pocket for a school, a club, or a team經典款式是深藍色,配金屬鈕扣,有時候胸前口袋還會有代表學校、社團或球隊的徽章。
In British and some other school uniforms, the blazer is the jacket with the school sign. Outside school, people wear one to look neat but not too stiff — with trousers that do not have to match. It sits between a hoodie and a full suit.

The name comes from blaze in the sense of something that shines out: early sports blazers were bright, almost shouting with colour, so you could spot your team. Though actually, today most blazers are quiet navy or black; the loud striped ones are now the special, old-fashioned kind.
The name comes from blaze in the sense of something that shines out這個名字來自blaze,也就是「發光、耀眼」的意思: early sports blazers were bright, almost shouting with colour早期運動用的blazer顏色鮮豔到幾乎是在大聲宣告, so you could spot your team好讓大家一眼就認出自己的隊伍。Though actually不過話說回來, today most blazers are quiet navy or black今天大多數blazer都是低調的深藍或黑色; the loud striped ones are now the special, old-fashioned kind那種花俏條紋款反而變成特別、老派的款式。
An older, separate blazer meant a person who blew a trumpet or made a loud claim; that is not where the jacket sense comes from.
An older, separate blazer meant a person who blew a trumpet or made a loud claim另外還有一個比較舊、不相關的blazer意思,指的是吹小號的人,或大聲宣揚的人; that is not where the jacket sense comes from但外套這個意思並不是從那裡來的。
組成blaze (“to shine out; to be easy to spot,” from blaze the flame) + -er. The jacket was named for looking bright. A different, older blazer from “blow / announce” is not this clothing sense.
