“线头”常见的英文表达有 loose thread 或 frayed thread,具体使用可根据语境来选择:
loose thread:侧重于描述那些松散、未固定或已从织物上部分脱离的线头 ,强调其“松散”的状态。例如:There's a loose thread on your sweater.(你的毛衣上有个线头。)
frayed thread:更强调线头因磨损、老化等原因而变得毛糙、散开的样子 。例如:The edges of the fabric are starting to fray, and there are frayed threads everywhere.(这块布的边缘开始磨损了,到处都是毛糙的线头。)
