覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 bowl に複数語尾 -s を付けた形で、発音は語末が有声音なので /z/ になります。スープ用の深い器が二つ以上並ぶ場面を思い浮かべ、two bowls、wash the bowls と覚えましょう。皿 plates より深く、cups のような取っ手を普通は持たない器という形の違いも手掛かりになります。
Bowls is the regular plural of bowl, formed by adding -s. Because bowl ends in a voiced sound, the plural ending is pronounced /z/, not /s/. Picture several deep, rounded containers on a kitchen table and use phrases such as “two bowls of soup” or “wash the bowls.” A bowl is generally deeper than a plate and usually lacks the handle associated with a cup. Linking the word to those visible differences makes the plural meaning easy to recognize in kitchen and dining contexts.
例文
We need two bowls for the soup.

The bowls are on the kitchen table.
ボウルは台所のテーブルの上にあります。
She washed the bowls after breakfast.
彼女は朝食の後でボウルを洗いました。

bowls の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 bolla（丸い容器）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *bullô（球状のもの）にさかのぼる。「丸く膨らんだもの」が原義で、球体を転がす競技 bowling も同根。関連語: bowl（鉢）、ball（球）。丸い形が器と球技の両方に展開した。
Bowls is the plural of bowl. Bowl comes from Old English bolla, a rounded vessel or cup, and is related to Germanic words referring to rounded or swollen objects. The noun originally emphasized the container’s curved shape. The separate use of bowl for a ball used in certain games also developed through the idea of a round object, although its history followed a related French form.
