Compared meaning: a loose, long outer garment (noun).

比较义项:宽松的长外衣,如睡袍、礼服(名词)。

  • gown 本词

    Gown suggests an elegant, fitted, formal garment worn at weddings, proms, or as evening wear; it is not something one wears casually at home.

    gown 强调剪裁合身、优雅正式的外衣,多用于婚礼、舞会或晚宴场合;不会用来指居家随意穿的衣物。

    She spent months choosing the perfect gown for her sister's wedding.

    她花了好几个月为姐姐的婚礼挑选完美的礼服。

  • robe

    Robe suggests a loose, comfortable garment worn after bathing or over pajamas, or a long ceremonial gown such as a judge's or graduate's robe; it lacks the fitted, festive feel of a gown.

    robe 强调宽松舒适、沐浴后或睡衣外披的居家外衣,也可指法官、毕业生等穿的礼仪长袍;不像 gown 那样合身且带有喜庆感。

    He shuffled into the kitchen in his robe, still half asleep.

    他还睡眼惺忪地披着睡袍走进厨房。

Both words mean a loose, long outer garment. Gown suggests an elegant, well-tailored piece worn on formal occasions like weddings or balls. Robe suggests a looser, thicker garment for home or ceremony, such as a bathrobe or a judge's or graduate's robe.

这两个词都指宽松的长外衣,但语气和场合不同:gown 强调剪裁考究、正式优雅,常用于婚礼、舞会等隆重场合;robe 强调宽松厚实、居家或礼仪用途,常用于沐浴后或法官、学位服等正式礼服。这里只比较词库给出的这一义项,不涉及两词的其他用法。
