- 1馬拉的(馬車、板車等)。drawn 是「拉」,不是「畫」。
A horse-drawn vehicle is pulled by a horse, not by an engine. A horse-drawn cart, a horse-drawn carriage, a horse-drawn in an old city. You almost always put it in front of the thing being pulled. Though actually, it is not used for a person riding a horse — that is on . Horse-drawn is about the wagon, the cart, the carriage. In most places today you meet it at festivals, on farms, or in old films, not in daily traffic, so the word often carries a feeling of the past.
horse-drawn 是形容詞,指由馬拉動、不是靠引擎的東西,例如馬拉的板車、馬車,或舊城市裡的馬拉電車。它通常放在被拉的東西前面,句型是「horse-drawn __」,後接 cart、carriage 這類名詞。這裡的 drawn 是「拉」的意思,不是「畫」。它說的是車,不是騎在馬背上的人。現在這種東西大多出現在節慶、農場或老電影裡,所以這個字常帶著一點過去的感覺。
組成horse + drawn (pulled; past of draw, “to pull”).
