1. 1英國精品羊毛服裝品牌 Jaeger(專有名詞;台灣少見,不是「獵人」)

    Jaeger here is a British clothing brand, written with a capital J — not a common noun you put “a” in front of in the usual way. The company is known for expensive, well-made clothes, especially wool: jumpers, coats, things that feel warm and “proper.” In Britain it belongs with heritage high-street names: smart, not cheap, a little old-fashioned in a way some people like. The name comes from Dr Gustav Jaeger’s Sanitary Woollen Systems company; his German surname happens to mean “hunter,” but this entry is the label on the clothes, not a hunter in the forest. Taiwan students may rarely see the shops; if the word turns up in a British magazine or an old film, think “ British wool brand.” It is not the Americans call a jaeger, and it is not the German word Jäger used as English.

組成From the company name of Dr Gustav Jaeger's Sanitary Woollen Systems Co. Ltd. (His German surname means “hunter,” but that is the man’s name, not how the clothing word was built in English.)
