"serves as [something]" 的意思是「適合特定用途」,也可以指「為一個組織或國家履行職責」。 例句: The table cloth serves as a protective surface from spilt drinks on the table. (桌布能作為表面防護,防止飲料直接灑在桌子上。) 例句: The sofa also serves as a bed when we have people over. => an additional use (當我們有人過來住的時候,沙發也可以當床鋪使用。=> 額外用途) 例句: He served in the army for two years. (他在軍隊服役了兩年。)
