- 1自黏式的、貼上去的(背面已經有膠,撕開就能貼)
Describes something with glue already on the back, so you can just press it onto a surface and it stays: stick-on labels, stick-on stars for a child's ceiling, stick-on hooks, stick-on nails. The point of the word is that you do not need any glue or tools of your own — the sticky part comes with it. It goes in front of a noun and stays there: you say 'a stick-on label', but you would not say 'this label is stick-on' in careful writing, though people do say it casually. It often carries a small hint of 'the easy, temporary version of the real thing' — stick-on tiles are not real tiles, a stick-on tattoo washes off, a stick-on is for a party. That is not always so, but it is worth hearing. Everyday, informal-to-neutral, and very common in shops and instructions. 'Self-adhesive' is the formal word for the same idea, and 'peel-and-stick' is common in American shops.
「stick-on」形容東西背面已經有膠,撕開後直接按在表面上就會黏住,不需要另外準備膠或工具。它放在名詞前面,例如 「a stick-on label」(一張自黏標籤)。正式寫作裡,人們不會說「這個標籤是 stick-on」,不過口語上有人會這樣說。
這個字常帶一點「比較簡易、暫時性的替代品」的意味。像 「stick-on tiles are not real tiles」(貼式磁磚不是真的磁磚),或 「a stick-on tattoo washes off」(貼紙式刺青會洗掉)。這不一定每次都是,但值得注意。它的語氣從日常到中性,在店家和使用說明裡很常見。
組成The verb 'stick' plus the small word 'on', frozen together with a hyphen and used as an adjective. English does this constantly: you take the two words of a phrasal verb, hyphenate them, and put them in front of a noun — a take-away meal, a built-in wardrobe, a run-down house.
