1. 1

    A mite is two things. (1) A tiny bug, too small to see clearly, that lives in dust, on skin, or on plants and animals — 'dust mite' is common in allergy talk. (2) In British English, 'a mite' also means 'a little bit' or 'slightly', used before an adjective — 'a mite tired' means a little bit tired. This second use is a bit old-fashioned.

    (名詞)蟎、小蟲;(英式口語)一點點、有點
