喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Preparatory describes something done to get ready for something bigger that will happen later — a preparatory step, a preparatory meeting, preparatory work. It is a formal word you will meet in writing about plans, education, or projects, rather than in casual talk. One important special use: a 'preparatory school' (often to 'prep school') is a private school, in the US usually for younger students preparing for high school, and in the UK often preparing students for entrance to other private schools.

    ① (形容詞)準備性的、預備的 ② preparatory school(常簡稱 prep school):(美式)為升學做準備的私立學校 / (英式)為升入其他私校做準備的小學
