喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈɡɑːrmənt/ · /ˈɡɑːmənt/衣物；成衣

    正式One piece of clothing — for example a shirt, coat, or dress — especially in formal talk about making or selling clothes.

    「garment」是正式的「單一一件衣服」——一件外套、一件毛衣、一件洋裝，都可以叫 a garment。核心畫面可以想成「一件穿在身上的東西」；平常聊天多半說 clothes（複數）或 a piece of clothing。garment 跟 clothes、clothing 容易搞混——clothes 用在日常「衣服」（My clothes are dirty）；clothing 多半不可數、談一大類或大量衣物（warm clothing）；garment 可數，常出現在成衣產業：garment industry、garment factory。

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei pulled the soft garment on and zipped it up.

    中文翻譯美把那件柔軟的衣物拉上，並拉上拉鍊。

From the word’s history

From Middle English garnement, from Old French garnement, from garnir 'to protect, clothe, adorn'.

源自古法文 garnement，來自 garnir「保護、穿戴、裝飾」。

Wiktionary

Picture a single item hanging on a rail in a factory or a shop's stock room — one shirt, one coat, counted as one unit. Garment is the counting word for clothing: it treats a piece of clothing as an object that can be made, inspected, priced, and shipped, which is why it lives mostly in the language of the clothing trade.

可以想成：工廠或店家倉庫的架子上掛著一件——一件襯衫、一件外套，被當成「一個單位」在數。garment 是把衣服當成物件來看的說法：可以生產、檢查、標價、出貨。也因為這樣，它幾乎都出現在成衣業與正式的書面語裡。
