    A quart is a way to measure liquid, used mainly in the United States and, a little, in Britain. Two pints make one quart. Four quarts make one gallon. Because Britain and the US never quite agreed on the size of a pint, their quarts do not match: a British quart is about 1.14 litres, an American one about 0.95 litres — almost a litre, but not quite.

    A quartA quart（夸脫） is a way to measure liquid是一種量液體的單位，used mainly in the United States and, a little, in Britain主要用在美國，英國也有一點點在用。Two pints make one quart兩品脫等於一夸脫。Four quarts make one gallon四夸脫等於一加侖。Because Britain and the US never quite agreed on the size of a pint因為英國和美國對「一品脫」的大小從來沒完全談攏，their quarts do not match兩邊的夸脫也對不上：a British quart is about 1.14 litres英制夸脫大約是 1.14 公升，an American one about 0.95 litres美制大約是 0.95 公升——almost a litre, but not quite接近一公升，但不完全是。

    In Taiwan you almost never buy milk by the quart在台灣你幾乎不會用夸脫買牛奶；you buy 公升你買的是公升。

    You will meet the word in American recipes, on old bottles, and in classes that still use US units. It is ordinary kitchen-and-shop talk there, not a science-only word.
