A miniskirt Miniskirt is a very short skirt是一種非常短的裙子, ending high on the thigh下擺在大腿上方。

The name became famous in the 1960s as young, bold fashion, and it is still the ordinary word for that length. People of different ages have never quite agreed about it: for some it is just clothes, for others it still feels daring.

The name這個名字 became famous in the 1960s在1960年代出名 as young, bold fashion因為年輕、大膽的流行, and it is still the ordinary word for that length現在也還是指這種長度的普通用語。People of different ages不同年紀的人 have never quite agreed about it一直沒有完全同意過它: for some it is just clothes對有些人來說它只是衣服, for others it still feels daring對另一些人來說它仍然感覺很大膽。

The word itself is everyday and informal. Fashion also talks about midi (to the mid-calf) and maxi (long), so mini here is about how much leg you see, not about a small person or a toy skirt.

The word itself這個字本身 is everyday and informal是日常、口語的。Fashion also talks about流行圈也講 midi (to the mid-calf) and maxi (long)midi（到小腿肚）和maxi（長裙）, so mini here所以這裡的mini is about how much leg you see講的是露出多少腿, not about a small person or a toy skirt不是指人小或玩具裙子。

Though actually how short “mini” must be is a bit loose — one person’s miniskirt is another person’s merely short skirt — but everyone hears the word as “much shorter than a normal skirt.”

Though actually不過其實 how short "mini" must be is a bit loosemini要多短其實有點模糊 — one person's miniskirt is another person's merely short skirt一個人的miniskirt可能只是另一個人眼中普通的短裙 — but everyone hears the word as但大家聽到這個字都會理解成 "much shorter than a normal skirt"「比一般裙子短很多」。
