喜樂美語
  1. 1n/brɑː/胸罩；內衣

    A piece of underwear that a woman wears under her clothes to hold up and support her breasts.

    bra 就是女生穿在衣服裡面、用來支撐胸部的那一件內衣，中文說「胸罩」或「內衣」。它是可數名詞：一件是 a bra，兩件是 two bras；underwear（內衣褲的統稱）則是不可數的，所以有 a bra 這種說法，卻沒有 an underwear。這個字可以想成是從長字 brassiere 剪下來的一小段——日常英文幾乎只說 bra，brassiere 聽起來很老式，大概只在商店的標籤上偶爾看得到。

Wiktionary

One plain object: the piece of underwear a woman wears next to her skin, under her clothes, shaped with two cups and straps so that it holds up and supports her breasts. The word has only this one everyday meaning — it does not stretch into metaphors.

可以想成一件很具體的東西就好：女性穿在衣服底下、貼著身體的內衣，有罩杯和肩帶，作用是把胸部托住、支撐住。這個字就停在這個實物上，沒有再往比喻的方向長出別的意思，用起來也就是日常說法。
