文法句型

electric mixer

hand mixer

stand mixer

用法筆記

Kitchen mixers come in two main types: hand-held and stand-mounted. 'Mixer' without a modifier usually refers to a stand mixer in British English, and to any electric mixing device in American English.

常見錯誤

❌I put the soup in a mixer to blend it.
✅I put the soup in a blender to purée it.
💡A mixer is for thick mixtures like dough and batter; a blender is for liquids and soft foods.

2.名詞B1
釋義

調酒配料

與烈酒混合的無酒精飲料

A drink that contains no alcohol, such as tonic water, cola, or fruit juice, which is combined with a spirit (like vodka, gin, or whiskey) to create a longer mixed drink.

例句

Hamza bought tonic water and ginger ale to use as mixers for the party cocktails.

哈姆扎買了通寧水和薑汁汽水，作為派對調酒的配料。

use as mixers: combined with alcohol at a party

The bar stocks over a dozen different mixers, from soda water to cranberry juice.

這家酒吧備有十幾種不同的調酒配料，從蘇打水到蔓越莓汁都有。

countable types: a dozen different mixers

同義詞
  • chaser

    A small drink taken immediately after a shot of alcohol; different from a mixer, which is combined with the alcohol.

反義詞
  • spirit

    A strong alcoholic drink such as vodka, gin, or whiskey, which is the opposite of a mixer.

文法句型

use X as a mixer

a selection of mixers

用法筆記

This sense is always about non-alcoholic liquids. The word 'mixer' alone at a bar usually means soda water, tonic, cola, or juice — not the alcoholic part of the drink.

常見錯誤

❌A vodka mixer contains vodka and juice.
✅Tonic water is a mixer; a vodka tonic contains vodka as the spirit and tonic as the mixer.
💡The mixer is the non-alcoholic part only.

3.名詞B2
釋義

交際者

社交場合待人的能力

A person described by how easily they meet and chat with new people in social situations; used in phrases like 'a good mixer' (outgoing and sociable) or 'a bad mixer' (shy or awkward in groups).

例句

Anna is a good mixer who can strike up a conversation with strangers within seconds.

安娜很擅長交際，能在幾秒鐘內就跟陌生人聊起來。

good mixer: sociable person who easily meets others

Iker has always been a bad mixer and finds large parties overwhelming.

伊克爾一直不善交際，覺得大型派對讓人受不了。

bad mixer: person uncomfortable with socialising

同義詞
  • socialiser

    A person who enjoys social activity; broader than 'good mixer', which specifically emphasises meeting new people.

反義詞
  • loner

    Someone who prefers being alone; opposite of a good mixer.

文法句型

be a good/bad mixer

用法筆記

Almost always appears with a qualifying adjective — 'good mixer' or 'bad mixer' — and rarely on its own. More common in British English than American English.

常見錯誤

❌She is a mixer.
✅She is a good mixer.
💡The word needs an adjective to make sense in this meaning.
