喜樂美語
  1. 1加大雙人（床、床單尺寸）。賣場也常直接說 queen size；比雙人小一號的是標準雙人，再大一號才是特大／king size。

    Queen-size names a bed — and the sheets, blankets, and mattress that fit it — made for two people, larger than a standard double (or “full”) bed and smaller than a king-size bed. Shops use it as a size label, the way they use small and large for clothes. Nobody means “a bed for a queen.” It is everyday American shopping language that has spread; you will hear it in furniture stores and on packaging. People also write queen size as two words, and they talk about a queen-size bed or queen-size sheets.

    queen-size 是床的尺寸，用在床，以及配合這種床的床單、被子和床墊上。它是給兩個人睡的，比標準雙人床大，但比 king-size 的床小。在台灣這個尺寸通常說「加大雙人」。固定寫法是「a queen-size ＿＿」，例如 a queen-size bed，或是 queen-size sheets。

    這個詞不是「給女王的床」的意思，而是跟衣服的 small、large 一樣，是賣場用來標示大小的字。它原本是美式購物用語，現在已經傳開了，在家具店或包裝上常常可以看到。有時人們也會寫成兩個字 queen size，兩種寫法都有。
