- 1a/dʒɔɪnt/together, shared共同的、聯合的
Done by two or more people or groups working together, or owned and shared by them, rather than belonging to or coming from just one.
「joint」放在名詞前面，意思是「這件事是兩邊一起做的，不是其中一邊做的」。a joint decision 是兩個人一起決定的；a joint account 是兩個人共用的帳戶。重點在「一起」，所以只能放名詞前面，不會說 The decision was joint。
