http://www.learnerhall.org/2023/08/39coarse-adj-hoarse-adj.html
疫情爆發以來，長時間戴口罩讓你狂冒痘、濕疹泛紅、毛孔變大、皮膚粗糙嗎？若有以上症狀，你可能悶出了「口罩肌」囉！不妨試試皮膚科醫師的撇步，戴口罩前後，使用凡士林保濕。希望大家都能抗「糙」成功。皮膚「粗糙」是 coarse skin 還是 hoarse skin 呢？下方說分明。
▍coarse (adj) 質地粗糙的 = rough / 行為粗鄙的 = vulgar
▶ 例 1：領巾邊緣的刺繡質地粗糙，貼著我的脖子不太舒服。
The embroidery at the edges of the scarf felt coarse and uncomfortable against my neck.
▶ 例 2：餐桌前，Jack 表現粗鄙，不只舔盤子，還用袖子擤鼻涕和擦嘴。
At the dinner table, Jack was coarse, not only licking the plates but blowing his nose and wiping his mouth on his sleeves.
▍hoarse (adj) 聲音粗啞的 = rough + unclear
▶ 例 1：因為我得了重感冒，我的聲音變得粗啞。
I had a terrible cold, and my voice got hoarse.
對了，來揭曉引言的答案。粗糙皮膚是 coarse skin，而非 hoarse skin 唷。
