喜樂美語
  1. 1(美式)丁字褲；(澳式)夾腳拖鞋

    This word has two very different everyday meanings, so context matters a lot. In American English, it usually means a piece of underwear or swimwear that leaves most of the bottom uncovered, held by thin straps. In Australian and some British English, 'thongs' means simple rubber , what Americans would call '.' Because of this difference, the word can cause real confusion between English speakers from different countries.

From the word’s history

From Old English þwong 'thong, strap, cord'.

源自古英文 þwong「皮帶、帶子」。
