The small everyday things you use to wash and take care of your body你用來洗澡、照顧身體的那些日常小東西 — soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, razor, and so on肥皂、洗髮精、牙膏、牙刷、體香劑、刮鬍刀之類的。
It is a plural word: people say 'my toiletries', almost never 'a toiletry'.
It is a plural word它是個複數詞: people say 'my toiletries'人們會說 my toiletries, almost never 'a toiletry'幾乎不會說 a toiletry。
You meet it most when travelling and shopping: hotels leave free toiletries in the bathroom, airports have rules about carrying liquid toiletries, supermarkets have a toiletries aisle, and you pack a toiletries bag (also called a wash bag or toilet bag).
You meet it most when travelling and shopping你最常在旅行和購物時碰到這個字:hotels leave free toiletries in the bathroom飯店會在浴室裡放免費的盥洗用品, airports have rules about carrying liquid toiletries機場對於攜帶液狀盥洗用品有規定, supermarkets have a toiletries aisle超市有盥洗用品區, and you pack a toiletries bag你會打包一個 toiletries bag (also called a wash bag or toilet bag也叫 wash bag 或 toilet bag)。
The word feels slightly formal and written — a sign or a packing list says 'toiletries', while a friend would just say "did you bring your shampoo and stuff?" Where the line falls is fuzzy: soap and are clearly toiletries; make-up and perfume sometimes count, sometimes get called cosmetics instead, and nobody minds much.
The word feels slightly formal and written這個字感覺有點正式、偏書面 — a sign or a packing list says 'toiletries'告示牌或打包清單上會寫 toiletries, while a friend would just say "did you bring your shampoo and stuff?"朋友之間則只會說「你有帶洗髮精那些東西嗎?」。Where the line falls is fuzzy界線在哪裡其實很模糊:soap and toothpaste are clearly toiletries肥皂和牙膏肯定算 toiletries; make-up and perfume sometimes count化妝品和香水有時候算, sometimes get called cosmetics instead有時候又被叫做 cosmetics, and nobody minds much大家也不太計較。
組成toilet + -ries. 'Toilet' once meant the whole business of washing and dressing yourself, not the bowl in the bathroom — that older meaning survives here, and in 'toilet water' (a light perfume). So toiletries are 'things for your washing-and-dressing routine'.
