1. 1噴霧式的、噴上去的(噴霧防曬、噴霧除臭劑、噴漆)。當形容詞一定放在名詞前面,要有連字號;沒連字號的 spray on 是動詞片語「噴在…上」

    Describing a product that comes in a can or bottle and goes on as a fine mist: spray-on , spray-on , spray-on paint, spray-on insulation. It answers the question 'how do you put it on?' — you spray it rather than rub, brush or pour it. It always sits in front of the noun (spray-on tan), never after it — you cannot say 'the tan is spray-on' comfortably; say 'it's a spray-on tan' or 'you spray it on'. Keep the when it is one description; without it, 'spray on' is just the verb plus a small word: 'spray it on the wall'. There is also a joking use for very tight clothes — 'those jeans look spray-on', as if the fabric had been sprayed straight onto the legs.

    spray-on 形容的是裝在罐子或瓶子裡、噴出細霧的產品,例如「spray-on sunscreen」(噴霧式防曬)、「spray-on deodorant」(噴霧式除臭劑)。它回答的是「怎麼擦上去」的問題:是噴上去,不是搓、刷或倒。

    這個字通常放在名詞前面,形成「spray-on + 名詞」,像「spray-on tan」(噴霧式曬黑)。中間要有連字號,表示它是一個完整的描述。沒有連字號的 spray on 只是動詞加小副詞,例如「spray it on the wall」,意思是把它噴在牆上。

    口語上也可以開玩笑形容很緊的褲子,「those jeans look spray-on」,像布料是直接噴在腿上的一樣。
