1. 1三星級的。飯店講「三星級」是中等、乾淨堪住但不豪華;但米其林餐廳的「三星」是最高等級,兩者感覺完全相反,看到時要先確認是哪一套評鑑。

    Rated at three stars — a mark of quality given by an official guide or rating system. It goes before a noun: a three-star hotel, a three-star restaurant.

    How good three stars actually is depends entirely on the system, and this is where get confused. For hotels, the usual scale runs to five stars, so three-star means decent and comfortable but not luxury — clean, has what you need, mid-price. Fine, not fancy. For restaurants in the Michelin guide, however, the scale only goes to three, so a three-star restaurant is the very top: one of the best in the world, where people book months ahead and pay a great deal. Same words, opposite feeling. Always ask yourself which scale is being used.

    It also appears for army rank in some countries — a three-star general — and on some product and hygiene ratings.

    The whole set works the same way: one-star, two-star, four-star, five-star. Note that 'star' stays singular before the noun, and that five-star has drifted into everyday praise — 'five-star service' just means excellent, even with no official rating involved.

    three-star 指由官方評鑑給出的三星評等,放在名詞前,像「a three-star __」,例如 hotel 或 restaurant。它的好壞要看是哪一套評等:飯店以五星為最高,所以三星是乾淨舒適、價格中等,不算豪華;米其林餐廳只到三星,所以三星是最頂級,要提前幾個月訂位,花費也很高。同樣的字,感覺卻完全相反,所以要先確認是哪一套評等。

組成'three' + 'star'. Stars became the symbol for quality ratings because they are easy to print in a row and easy to count at a glance — the number of stars is the score.
