- 1透明的;透視的(布料薄到看得見裡面時最常這樣說)
If a material or surface is see-through, you can look through it and see what is on the other side. Clear glass is see-through; a thin shirt can be see-through too, which is why people use the word a lot about clothes. Transparent is the more formal twin; see-through is the everyday one, especially for fabric. Though actually, people also say it for plastic boxes, curtains, and even makeup. Written with a when it sits in front of a noun (a see-through ). Do not mix this adjective with the verb see through: “I can see through his story” means you understand the trick, and “I'll see you through this” means I will help you until it ends. Those are different words that happen to look the same on the page.
「see-through」指材料或表面可以看穿,看得到另一邊的東西。透明玻璃是 see-through,薄薄的襯衫也可以是,所以人們常拿它來形容衣服。transparent 比較正式,see-through 是日常用的說法,尤其用在布料上,也會用來形容塑膠盒、窗簾,甚至化妝品。放在名詞前面時要寫連字號,例如 a see-through blouse(透膚的女襯衫)。
它和片語動詞 see through 是不同的字。see through 可以是看穿別人的把戲,也可以是陪你撐過某件事,那是另一個動作,不是這個形容詞。
