用法筆記
The plural form 'hip bones' is common when referring to both sides of the pelvis (e.g., 'Her hip bones were sore after the long ride'). The singular refers to one specific side. In casual speech, people often say 'hip' to mean the area around the hip bone, but in medical or anatomical contexts, 'hip bone' specifies the bone itself.
