An ounce is a unit of weight commonly used in the US, equal to about 28.35 grams. It is also used for measuring liquids, especially in cooking and with bottles.
用法与细微差别
Almost always used in the plural ('ounces') when measuring. 'Fluid ounces' refers to volume, not weight. In recipes, 'ounces' usually means weight unless otherwise specified. Mostly used in American English; the metric system (grams, milliliters) is more common elsewhere.
