noun · C1
A room in a house with comfortable chairs, kept for sitting and talking with visitors. This use is old-fashioned; people now usually say living room or sitting room.
客廳；會客室
核心畫面
One small room, set aside for one purpose, that other people come into. In a house that room was kept for visitors: good chairs, a closed door, tea when someone called.

可以想成一個小小的房間，專門留給一件事、留給外面的人走進來。在老房子裡，那是留給客人的房間：好一點的椅子，平常門關著…更多收起
可以想成一個小小的房間，專門留給一件事、留給外面的人走進來。在老房子裡，那是留給客人的房間：好一點的椅子，平常門關著，有人來訪才打開。把同一個畫面搬到街上，就變成一家只做一件事的小店——你推門進去，就是為了冰淇淋、為了刺青、為了辦一場喪禮，辦完就走。這個字今天單獨用得少，但貼在別的字後面時還活得好好的。Two branches
只做一件事的小店
同樣一個小空間，門朝街上開。走進去的人不是客人而是顧客，裡面照樣只做一件事。這是概念上的相通，不是在說歷史怎麼演變。
noun · B2
Used after another word to name a small business that does one kind of thing for its customers: an ice-cream parlour sells ice cream, a tattoo parlour does tattoos, a funeral parlour arranges funerals.
（某某）店／館
