“衣服等的贴边”可以翻译为 "hem of clothes, etc." 或更具体地描述为 "the turned-under and stitched edge (hem) of garments like clothes"。不过,在日常或较为简洁的表达中,“hem of clothes” 或直接用 “hem”(当上下文明确是指衣物贴边时)就已足够。
“hem” 本身就是指衣物边缘(尤其是底部)经过翻折并缝制的部分,即贴边。例如:
The dress has a neat hem.(这条裙子有整齐的贴边。)
She carefully mended the hem of her skirt.(她仔细地修补了裙子的贴边。)
