eyelid

眼睑，也就是覆盖并保护眼睛、可以上下移动的薄皮肤褶皱。

💡 记忆钩子

把眼睛想成一扇小窗，eyelid 就是能开合的保护帘：它闭上时遮住眼睛，眨眼时移动并帮助保持眼睛表面湿润。

📝 学习建议

不要把 eyelid 和眼球混淆；它指眼睛外面的活动皮肤，不是眼睛本身。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 眼睑

📖 眼睛外面可以上下开合的薄皮肤，像保护眼睛的小帘子；眨眼时它会移动，闭眼时则遮住眼睛。

💡 常见句型是“someone’s eyelid(s) + 动作”，例如表示眼睑跳动、闭合或肿胀；谈两只眼睛时通常用复数形式。它既可用于日常描述，也可用于医疗说明；不要把表示“眨眼”的动作直接当作 eyelid 本身。

Her eyelids were swollen after she cried all night.

她哭了一整夜后，眼睑肿了。
