用法筆記

This adjective is most commonly used attributively before a noun that names a person's job or role (e.g. uniformed officer, uniformed guard). When used predicatively, it is often followed by a phrase describing the specific clothing, as in 'uniformed in white shirts'. Compare with the adjective 'civilian', which describes people not in uniform.

常見錯誤

❌A uniformed man stood outside.
✅A uniformed police officer stood outside.
💡'uniformed' is clearest when the noun names the person's profession, because the word alone does not tell the reader what kind of uniform is being worn.
