1. 1n/ˈhelmɪt/安全帽;頭盔

    a strong hard hat that people wear to protect their heads when they ride, play sport, or work near danger.

    「helmet」是「保護頭的硬帽子」。在台灣,騎腳踏車、機車、滑板時常說安全帽;頭盔比較常出現在運動或故事書裡。它跟 hat 不一樣:hat 可以是軟的、漂亮的日常帽子;helmet 一定要硬,任務是護頭。可以想成:頭外面多加一層堅固的殼。常見說法:wear a helmet、a bicycle helmet、put on / take off a helmet。
