用法筆記

Placemats serve a dual purpose: they protect the dining table from heat, spills, and scratches, and they define each person's eating area as part of a complete place setting (with cutlery, glass, and napkin). They are often sold in sets and come in materials such as cotton, polyester, bamboo, cork, paper, and vinyl.
