喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˈʌndərwer/ · /ˈʌndəweə/內衣褲

    The clothes you wear next to your body, under your other clothes, such as a vest, pants, or a warm layer for cold weather.

    「underwear」可以想成 under（在…底下）+ wear（穿的東西），也就是「穿在其他衣服底下的那一層衣物」——背心、內褲、冬天的發熱衣都算。它是不可數名詞，所以不說 an underwear、underwears；要數的時候用 a pair of underwear（一件）、two pairs（兩件），或 a change of underwear（一套換洗的）。跟它相對的是 outerwear（外衣，穿在最外面那一層）。

    示範例句 · Example

    中文翻譯為了這趟兩天的旅行，你只需要帶一份換洗的內衣褲和一支牙刷。

Wiktionary

Think of the layer of clothing that sits closest to your skin, hidden under everything else — the shirt, the trousers, the coat all go on top of it. The word is built exactly like the picture: 'under' + 'wear', the things you wear underneath.

可以想成穿在最裡面、貼著皮膚的那一層衣物：襯衫、褲子、外套全都疊在它上面，它自己不露出來。這個字的長相就是它的畫面——under（在下面）＋ wear（穿的東西），穿在下面的東西。冷天穿的發熱衣、衛生衣也算在裡面，因為它們一樣是貼身的第一層。
