- 1a/ˈnɔɹmən/ · /ˈnɔːmən/Norman style (architecture)諾曼式的（建築）
Built in the heavy stone style that was popular in England and nearby parts of Europe in the 1000s and 1100s, with round arches, thick walls, and short fat columns.
這是建築的用法，說的是一種風格。常放在 church、arch、tower、doorway 前面，也可以放在 be 後面：the church is Norman。樣子很好認：拱門是半圓形，不是尖的；牆很厚；柱子又粗又短。這種風格在英國以外多半叫 Romanesque（羅馬式），因為諾曼人發展的是它的一個版本。時間大約是十一、十二世紀。
示範例句 · Example

中文翻譯那座村莊教堂是諾曼式的，兩道門上都有圓拱。
This is the building word. It describes a style, so it sits in front of things like church, arch, tower, doorway, or after be: the church is Norman. The look is easy to recognise — arches that curve in a half circle rather than coming to a point, walls that feel very thick, and columns that look short and heavy. Outside Britain the same style is usually called Romanesque, because the Normans developed their version of it.

This is the history word, and it is almost always used in front of a noun: Norman rule, Norman lords, Norman England, Norman French. It points at one people and the mark they left on England after 1066 — on land, on law, and on the language. It also covers Normandy today: a Norman village is a village in Normandy. Keep the capital letter; it comes from the name of a place and a people.
