A rucksack背包（rucksack） is是 a bag you carry on your back一種背在背上的袋子，with straps over both shoulders兩邊肩膀都有背帶。The picture in most British minds大多數英國人心裡的畫面 is a bag for a long walk, a hill climb, or a weekend away是那種長途健行、爬山或週末出遊用的袋子——not a tiny fashion backpack不是那種小小的時尚背包，though people do stretch the word雖然大家確實會把這個字用得更寬鬆。

Americans more often say backpack; rucksack sounds a bit more outdoor, or a bit more British, and the army still likes it for a big field pack. Though actually, in a shop, the two words often point at the same kind of thing.

It is an ordinary, practical word, not fancy. You pack a rucksack, sling it on, hike with it. It is not a suitcase, and it is not a bag you hold in one hand.

It is an ordinary, practical word這是個普通、實用的字，not fancy不是什麼花俏的說法。You pack a rucksack你把東西裝進rucksack裡，sling it on把它甩上肩，hike with it背著它去健行。It is not a suitcase這不是行李箱，and it is not a bag you hold in one hand也不是那種用一隻手提著的袋子。
