英语词汇“carat”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

Precious jewels are measured in carats instead of ounces or grams. If your sister gets a three-carat diamond ring, she's getting a ring that weighs 600mg, which is big enough to be called "a rock."

A variant of carat is karat. The former is usually used with diamonds and is a measure of weight, whereas the latter is usually used for gold and is a measure of purity. One karat is 1/24th of the mass, so 24-karat gold is pure. An 18-karat gold ring is 18/24 (or 3/4) gold and 6/24 (or 1/4) other metals.
