单词 milkwoman
释义

milkwoman

noun
/ˈmɪlkwʊmən/
/ˈmɪlkwʊmən/
(plural milkwomen
/ˈmɪlkwɪmɪn/
/ˈmɪlkwɪmɪn/
)
  1. (especially in the UK) a woman whose job is to deliver milk to customers each morning (尤其是在英国)每天早上为顾客送牛奶的女性
    CultureThere are very few milkmen or milkwomen in the US and demand for them in Britain fell when people started buying their milk from supermarkets. However, milk deliveries are becoming more popular again in Britain, partly because people like to get their milk in glass bottles in order to avoid unnecessary use of plastic, but also because they want to get their milk from smaller dairies (= farms that produce milk). Milkmen/​milkwomen do their deliveries early in the morning and leave the bottles of milk outside the front door of the house. In towns and cities they often travel in electric vehicles, called milk floats.
