Milkman Meaning in English
word
释义
A milkman is a person whose job is to deliver milk to people’s homes, usually early in the morning. The term is traditional, as home milk deliveries were more common in the past.
用法与细微差别
Mostly used in historical or nostalgic contexts; home delivery by milkmen was common in the UK and some other countries in the past. Today, it is rare and may sound old-fashioned. Don't confuse with 'dairyman' (who manages a dairy farm).
