- 1手捲菸
A roll-up is a cigarette you make yourself: you roll tobacco in a thin paper, often with a little filter. It is mainly British everyday talk; in American English people are more likely to say a hand-rolled cigarette. Some prefer roll-ups because they are cheaper than a packet, or because they can choose the tobacco. The word can sound casual, even a bit rough. Though actually you may also see roll-up on a poster stand in a shop (a banner that rolls up into a base) — same spelling, different object. The cigarette is the old, common sense.
「roll-up」是自己捲的菸:把菸草包進薄紙裡,常會加一個小濾嘴。它主要是英式的日常說法,美式比較常說手捲菸(hand-rolled cigarette)。有些抽菸的人喜歡自己捲,因為比整包買便宜,也可以自己選菸草。這個字的語氣隨意,甚至有點粗。
另外,商店裡的海報架,可以捲起收進底座的布幕,也叫 roll-up,拼法一樣,但指的是另一樣東西。這個詞最常見的意思,還是自己捲的那根菸。
