用法筆記

mph is always used after a number (e.g. 30 mph, 65 mph). In the US and UK road signs use mph, while most other countries use km/h (kilometres per hour). To convert mph to km/h, multiply by about 1.6.

常見錯誤

❌I drove at 100 mph in Taipei.
✅I drove at 60 mph in Taipei.
💡Taiwan uses kilometres per hour (km/h) on road signs, not mph. mph is the standard in the US, the UK, and a few other countries.
