- 1n/duːˈveɪ/ · /ˈduːveɪ/羽絨被
a warm cover for a bed, made of a big cloth bag filled with feathers or something soft like them, that you sleep under.
「duvet」可以想成「一個大布袋,裡面塞滿羽毛或類似的軟填充物」——重點在「裡面有東西」,所以它蓬蓬的、很輕又很保暖。這一點就是 duvet 跟 blanket 最大的差別:blanket 是毯子,只有一層布,沒有填充;duvet 是被子,鼓鼓的一大包。英國人說 duvet,美國人同樣的東西多半說 comforter;外面套的那層可以拆下來洗的布叫 duvet cover(被套)。
示範例句 · Example

中文翻譯天氣很冷,所以里歐把羽絨被拉到他的下巴。
