文法句型

[modifier] + rimmed + [noun]

用法筆記

Almost always used in compound adjectives (gold-rimmed, wire-rimmed, red-rimmed, horn-rimmed) where the first part describes the material, colour, or shape of the rim. The simple form 'rimmed' (without a modifier) is rare outside of patterns like 'rimmed with [something]'.

常見錯誤

❌She bought rimmed glasses.
✅She bought gold-rimmed glasses.
💡'rimmed' alone is uncommon; native speakers usually specify the type of rim (material/colour) in a compound form.
❌He wore horn-rimmed glass.
✅He wore horn-rimmed glasses.
💡'glasses' is plural; 'glass' is the material, not the eyewear.
