喜樂美語
  1. 1一下子、一會兒（英國口語，moment 的省略）

    In informal British English, a mo is a very short time — really just a moment, cut down. People say “hang on a mo” or “I’ll be there in a mo” when they mean wait a tiny bit. It is friendly and spoken, the kind of thing you say to a friend or in a shop, not the kind of thing you put in a school essay. American speakers hardly use it; they would say a sec or a minute. Other words spelled mo exist, including a family name, but this entry is only that little slice of time.

    mo 是英式口語，指非常短的一段時間，基本上就是 moment 的縮短。說話的時候，人們會用「hang on a mo」，意思是等一下下；或「I'll be there in a mo」，意思是我馬上就到。

    它很口語、很親切，通常是對朋友或在店裡說的，不會出現在學校作文裡。美式英文很少用，通常會說 a sec 或 a minute。

    拼成 mo 的字還有別的，像人名，但這裡只指這一小段時間。
