    Mademoiselle is a French title and a way to speak to, or speak about, a young French-speaking woman who is not married — the partner of English Miss, next to Madame (Mrs) and Monsieur (Mr). In English we borrowed the French word as it is, often in writing to Mlle.

    You use it with a surname (Mademoiselle Dupont) or, in older stories, on its own to a young woman. It is marked as French; you would not call a student Mademoiselle in ordinary English class unless you were playing at French.

    You use it with a surname (Mademoiselle Dupont)你會加上姓氏來用(像Mademoiselle Dupont) or, in older stories, on its own to a young woman或者在比較舊的故事裡,單獨拿來稱呼一位年輕女性 It is marked as French這個字帶著明顯的法國味 you would not call a Taiwanese student Mademoiselle in ordinary English class你不會在普通英文課上把台灣學生叫做Mademoiselle unless you were playing at French除非你是在玩法式風情的梗

    Though actually, France itself has largely away from it in official life: forms and government letters now use Madame for adult women, married or not, because Mademoiselle made women state their marital status when men did not have to.

    Though actually不過其實 France itself has largely stepped away from it in official life法國本身在公務場合已經大多不再使用這個字 forms and government letters now use Madame for adult women, married or not表格和公文現在對成年女性一律用Madame,不管有沒有結婚 because Mademoiselle made women state their marital status when men did not have to因為Mademoiselle會要求女性表明婚姻狀態,男性卻不用

    You still meet it in novels, films, cafés playing a certain charm, and older manners. The English plural is sometimes mademoiselles; French is mesdemoiselles. It is a title, not a job, and it is not a rude word — but using it for a grown woman today can sound old-fashioned or even a bit pointed.
