水和陸地之間的那一條

shore between the tides · noun
The strip of shore that the sea covers and uncovers as the tide moves — the ground between the highest point the water reaches and the lowest point it falls back to.
潮間帶
One way to hold this word: the last strip of land before the water, seen as a band rather than a point. Stand with your back to the town and the ground runs flat ahead of you until it stops being land. That band is the foreshore. What changes between the uses is only who draws its far edge — the tide, or the town.
可以想成：陸地在碰到水之前的最後一條，而且是一「帶」，不是一條線。背對著鎮上站好，地往前平平地延伸，直到它不再算陸地為止。那一帶就是 foreshore。兩種用法之間唯一不同的，是誰畫外面那條邊——潮水，還是城鎮。
From the word’s history
Recorded as fore- plus shore. The same fore- appears in forehead and forecast, meaning the front part, so the build is simply 'the front of the shore'.
來源記載就是 fore- 加上 shore。同一個 fore- 也出現在 forehead、forecast 裡，意思是「前面的」，所以這個字的組合就是「岸的最前面那一段」。
