買了衣服或褲子, 常有需求要把衣服或褲子改小
英文是什麼呢?
✍take in 的意思, 有將衣服改小/改窄的意思
This dress needs to be taken in for a bit. 這件洋裝需要改小一點。
I will have to take this dress in at the waist. It is too big for me. 我必須要把這洋裝腰的地方改小一點。它太大了
英另外,衣褲或裙子也需要放長或改短
英文則是
to shorten/hem (摺邊) the pants/skirt
to lengthen the pants/skirt
to let down the pants hem (在此, hem 表[摺邊] 為名詞)
重點單字複習
1) take st. in 改窄; 改小
2) shorten v. 變短= to hem st.
3) lengthen v. 變長=to let the hem down
學到了 take in 的用法,
你知道英文裡面有超多take 的動詞片語嗎?
