adjective · B2
Used about a place — a room, a restaurant, part of a train, a whole building — where people are not allowed to smoke.
禁菸的
Picture a small sign on a door or a table. It does not describe what is there; it tells you what does not happen there. Everything this word does comes from that sign — sometimes it is stuck on a room, sometimes on a person's way of living.
The source gives the word as non- plus smoking, with the noun back-formed from the adjective. The prefix does the whole job: it turns 'smoking' into 'the absence of smoking'.
資料來源指出,這個字是 non-(不、非)加上 smoking 造出來的,名詞用法則是從形容詞反推出來的。關鍵全在 non- 這個開頭:它把 smoking 翻成「沒有抽菸這件事」。英文裡 non-stop、non-profit 用的是同一招。
