"narrow" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 狹窄的
• 狹隘的

Definition

如果某物很窄，意思是它從一邊到另一邊的寬度不大。它也可以表示差距很小、範圍有限，或指一個人的想法過於侷限。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

常用於具體事物，如 'a narrow street'、'a narrow door'。也常見於 'a narrow win'（險勝）或 'narrowly escape'（僥倖逃脫）這樣的表達。說人的觀念時，更常用 'narrow-minded'，而不單說 'narrow'。不要和 'thin' 混淆，'thin' 通常指薄，不是窄。
