- 1落腳處（城裡的第二個小住處，不是自宅）
A pied-à-terre is a small apartment or house you keep in a city (or another town) that is not your main home. You own it, or at least you have it to use, and you stay there now and then — for work, for a night after a show, for a few days in town. The name is French and still sounds a bit fancy in English; people who say it are often talking about a flat in the centre of a big city, not a tent. Though actually it need not be grand: the point is a place to put your feet down when you are away from your real home, not a second palace. It is not a hotel, and it is not the house where your family lives all year.
組成Borrowed from French pied-à-terre, literally “foot on the ground”: pied (foot) + à (on) + terre (ground).
