喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈbreɪslɪt/手鍊；手環

    A band or a chain that you wear around your wrist, or higher up around your arm, because it looks nice. A bracelet can be made of gold, silver, beads, string, or almost anything.

    bracelet 是「戴在手腕或手臂上、繞成一圈的飾品」。中文分成兩個字——一條鏈子叫「手鍊」，一個圈圈叫「手環」——但英文不分，兩種都是 bracelet，金的、銀的、串珠的、用線編的也都算。這個字可以想成是從法文的「手臂」長出來的，所以它戴的位置固定在手：戴在腳踝上的那種不叫 bracelet，要說 anklet。

From the word’s history

From Old French bracelet, diminutive of bras 'arm'.

源自古法文 bracelet，是 bras「手臂」的小稱。

Wiktionary

Picture a circle worn around the wrist — a band or a chain that goes round the arm and stays there. It is worn because it looks good, not because it does a job, and it can be made of almost anything: gold, silver, beads, even string.

可以想成：一圈套在手腕上的東西。它繞著手腕（有時往上戴在手臂上）圍成一圈，戴上去就留在那裡。戴它的理由是好看，不是為了有什麼功能；材質幾乎不限——金的、銀的、串珠的、編繩的都算。所以判斷一樣東西是不是 bracelet，看的是「戴在手腕、圍成一圈、為了好看」這三件事，不是它值多少錢。
