thermometer
意味: An instrument for measuring temperature, typically consisting of a graduated glass tube containing mercury or alcohol, or an electronic sensor with a digital display.
Thermometer is one of the most universally recognised scientific instruments, familiar from domestic, medical, and meteorological contexts. Traditional mercury thermometers are being phased out due to toxicity concerns, replaced by digital and infrared alternatives. Like barometer, the word is sometimes used figuratively — 'a thermometer of public anger' — though this usage is less established. Britain uses Celsius for weather but Fahrenheit persists informally among older generations.
