"narrow" in Chinese (Simplified)

• 狭窄的
• 狭隘的

Definition

如果某物很窄，意思是它从一边到另一边的宽度不大。它也可以表示差距很小、范围有限，或指一个人的想法过于局限。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))

常用于具体事物，如 'a narrow street'、'a narrow door'。也常见于 'a narrow win'（险胜）或 'narrowly escape'（侥幸逃脱）这样的表达。说人的观念时，更常用 'narrow-minded'，而不单说 'narrow'。不要和 'thin' 混淆，'thin' 通常指薄，不是窄。
