"nan" in Chinese (Traditional)

饢餅奶奶

Definition

有兩個常見含義:(1) 一種在坦都爾烤爐中烤製的柔軟印度扁麵餅,也拼作 'naan'。(2) 英式非正式用語,指奶奶/外婆,尤其在英格蘭北部。兩種用法在日常英語中都很常見。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

麵餅含義:'nan' 和 'naan' 兩種拼法都正確;'naan' 在美食文章中稍微更常見。常見搭配:'garlic nan'、'peshwari nan'、'nan bread'(嚴格來說是冗餘的,因為 'nan' 本身就是麵餅)。奶奶含義:主要是英式英語,尤其是英格蘭北部和工人階層。類似 'nana',但更具英國特色。上下文通常能區分含義。
