underpants

指穿在外裤里面、遮盖生殖器并通常也遮盖臀部的内衣，通常只用复数形式。

💡 记忆钩子

把它想成“穿在裤子下面的衣物”：under-表示“在……下面”，pants表示“裤子”，合起来就是穿在外裤下面、贴身遮盖下身的内裤。

📝 学习建议

不要把它理解成普通的外穿长裤；它专指内裤。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 内裤

📖 指穿在外裤下面、贴身遮盖生殖器并通常也遮盖臀部的内衣；这个词通常只以复数形式出现。

💡 常见搭配是“wear underpants”或“a pair of underpants”，分别表示穿内裤和一条内裤。说数量时用“a pair of”，不要直接说“an underpant”；谈论日常衣物时，这个词比描述身体部位的说法更自然、更中性。

plural plural-only
