喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈherˌdraɪər/ · /ˈheəˌdraɪə/吹風機

    a machine that blows out hot air, which you hold in your hand or fix to a wall to dry your hair after washing it.

    hairdryer 是一個很好拆開來看的字：hair（頭髮）+ dryer（把東西弄乾的機器），合起來可以想成「把頭髮弄乾的機器」——它靠的是吹出來的熱風。它是可數名詞，一台就說 a hairdryer，兩台是 two hairdryers。英式常寫成 hairdryer 或 hair dryer 兩種拼法，美式則常說 blow-dryer；三個講的都是同一台機器。

The name says the whole machine: hair + dryer, the thing that dries hair. Picture the one you hold up beside your head, blowing hot air, or the fixed one bolted to the wall in a hotel bathroom — same word, same job.

可以想成字面拆開就是全部：hair（頭髮）＋ dryer（把東西弄乾的機器），就是那台吹出熱風、把洗好的頭髮吹乾的東西。畫面裡可以是你握在手上、舉在耳朵旁邊嗡嗡作響的那支，也可以是旅館浴室牆上固定住的那台——同一個字，同一件事。
