喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈsɪɡəˌret/ · /ˌsɪɡəˈret/香菸

    a thin tube of thin paper filled with cut-up tobacco, which people light at one end and breathe the smoke from.

    cigarette 指的是「那一根東西」——薄薄的紙捲著菸草，點燃一端來抽的那個小紙管，中文說「香菸」「菸」。它是可數名詞，一根一根算：a cigarette、two cigarettes、a packet of cigarettes（一包菸）。三個容易混在一起的字可以這樣分：cigarette 是細細的紙捲菸；cigar 是粗粗的、整支用菸葉捲成的雪茄；tobacco 是裡面的菸草本身，是不可數的原料；smoking 則是「抽菸」這個行為。所以「他戒菸了」講的是 smoking，不是 cigarette。

core核心畫面

From the word’s history

Borrowed from French cigarette, from cigare + diminutive -ette.

借自法文，就是 cigare「雪茄」加上表示小的 -ette。

Wiktionary

Picture a thin white paper tube, about as long as a finger, packed with shredded tobacco. You light one end, and breathe in the smoke from the other. It is a single small object made to be used once and thrown away — which is why so much of the language around it counts them one at a time: have a cigarette, light a cigarette, twenty a day.

可以想成一根手指長的細白紙管，裡面塞著切碎的菸草。點燃一頭，從另一頭把煙吸進來。它是一個一次性的小東西——用完就丟——所以圍著它的英文幾乎都是一根一根數的：have a cigarette、light a cigarette、smoke twenty a day。
