If a product is hard-wearing, you can use it a lot — walk on it, wash it, rub it, carry it every day — and it still stays in good shape for a long time. It is a word for things, not people: shoes, school bags, sofa fabric, floor covering, work trousers.

British English likes this word. In American English people more often say durable, which means the same idea. You usually put it before a noun: hard-wearing paint, hard-wearing carpet.

British English英式英文 likes this word喜歡這個字。In American English在美式英文裡，people人們 more often say更常說 durable，which means它表達 the same idea同一個意思。You你 usually通常 put it把它放 before a noun在名詞前面：hard-wearing paint、hard-wearing carpet。

Though actually, it does not mean the thing feels hard on your skin. A soft jumper can be hard-wearing if it does not go thin. And it is not the same as “hard to wear” (clothes that feel awkward). It is about lasting, not about comfort.

Though actually不過其實，it它 does not mean不是說 the thing這東西 on your skin貼在皮膚上 feels hard摸起來很硬。if it does not go thin只要不會被穿薄，A soft jumper一件柔軟的毛衣 can be也可以是 hard-wearing。And而且 it它 is not the same as和 “hard to wear”「很難穿」不一樣——clothes that feel awkward穿起來彆扭的衣服。It它 is about lasting講的是耐久，not about comfort不是舒適。
