    Decor is the look of a room or the inside of a building: the colours, the furniture, the lights, the things on the walls, and the feeling they make together. When someone likes the decor, they like that whole look, not just one chair or one picture.

    Decordecor is the look of a room or the inside of a building是一個房間或建築物內部的整體外觀:the colours, the furniture, the lights, the things on the walls顏色、家具、燈光、牆上的東西,and the feeling they make together還有這些東西加在一起給人的感覺。When someone likes the decor當有人喜歡 decor 的時候,they like that whole look他們喜歡的是整體那個樣子,not just one chair or one picture不只是一張椅子或一幅畫而已。

    You hear the word in magazines, on design shows, and in cafés, hotels, and shops talking about their style. It feels a little smart and magazine-like; in everyday talk many people just say how the room is done, or talk about the decoration.

    You hear the word in magazines, on design shows你會在雜誌、設計節目裡聽到這個字,and in cafés, hotels, and shops talking about their style還有咖啡廳、飯店、店家介紹自己風格的時候。It feels a little smart and magazine-like它給人的感覺有點時髦、像雜誌用語;in everyday talk many people just say how the room is done在日常對話裡,很多人就只是說房間「弄得怎麼樣」,or talk about the decoration或講 the decoration(裝飾)。

    Though actually, decor is not quite the same as decoration. A decoration can be one balloon, one vase, one string of lights. Decor is the whole plan — how everything sits together.

    Though actually不過其實,decor is not quite the same as decorationdecor 跟 decoration 不完全一樣。A decoration can be one balloon, one vase, one string of lightsa decoration 可以只是一顆氣球、一個花瓶、一串燈。Decor is the whole plandecor 則是整體的規劃——how everything sits together所有東西怎麼搭配在一起。

    People stretch it too: wedding decor, office decor, bedroom decor. It is almost always about insides, not gardens and not the outside of a house.

    People stretch it too大家也把這個字用得比較寬:wedding decor, office decor, bedroom decorwedding decor(婚禮布置)、office decor(辦公室布置)、bedroom decor(臥室布置)。It is almost always about insides它幾乎都是在講室內,not gardens and not the outside of a house不是花園,也不是房子的外觀。

    It is a noun, not a verb: you do not 'decor' a room; you it, and then it has a decor.

    It is a noun, not a verb它是名詞,不是動詞:you do not 'decor' a room你不會說 'decor' a room,you decorate it而是 decorate 它,and then it has a decor然後它就有了一個 decor。
