よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse "trunk" (US English) and "boot" (UK English). In American English, say "in the trunk of the car"; in British English, say "in the boot of the car." Some learners also say *"the back of the car"* when they mean the closed storage area; use "trunk" or "boot" instead when you mean the specific compartment.
意味
storage space at back of car
コロケーション
open the trunk
|pop the trunk
|car trunk
|in the trunk
|trunk space
|pack the trunk
類義語
boot (British English word for the same part of a car; not usually used in American English.)
対義語
