- 1玻璃水瓶；盛酒瓶（餐廳桌上那種寬口玻璃壺；醒酒用的較華麗的叫醒酒器）
A carafe is a glass with a wide neck, made for pouring drink at the table — usually water or wine. It is open or has only a simple , so you can pour easily. Restaurants put a carafe of water on the table; some people pour wine into a carafe so it can breathe a little before you drink it. Though actually, it is not quite a bottle (a bottle is closed, often with a screw top or cork, and you store drink in it) and not quite a fancy (a is the heavy, often cut-glass pot people use when they want wine to look special). A carafe is the plain, wide-mouthed glass in the middle. The word feels a bit French and a bit restaurant-like; at home many people just say .
組成From French carafe, from Italian caraffa, probably from Arabic ḡurfa, “cup or dipper”, from ḡarafa, “to ladle”. First in English in 1786. Doublet of carboy.
