喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈklæsmeɪt/ · /ˈklɑːsmeɪt/同學

    a person who is in the same class as you at school, college, or (in the US) university.

    「classmate」是「跟你同一個班、一起上課的人」，中文最自然說同學。常見說法：my classmate（我的同學）、old classmate（老同學）、high-school classmate（高中同學）。核心畫面可以想成 class（班級）+ mate（夥伴）——同一個教室裡一起學習的夥伴。它跟 schoolmate、roommate、colleague 容易並排：classmate 強調同班；schoolmate 強調同校（不一定同班）；roommate 是室友；colleague 是職場同事。

    Mei is my classmate — we sit next to each other in science class.

    中文翻譯美是我的同學——我們在科學課上坐在彼此旁邊。
