墨镜

墨镜 (mò jìng) is the Chinese term for sunglasses, specifically referring to dark-tinted eyewear used to protect the eyes from bright sunlight or to enhance vision in strong light conditions.

The character 墨 (mò) means 'ink' or 'dark,' and 镜 (jìng) means 'mirror' or 'glass.' Together, they describe the dark lenses of the glasses, which resemble a mirror in appearance. This combination highlights the primary function of the item: to block out harsh light with darkened lenses.

墨镜 are commonly used in daily life in China, especially during summer or in sunny climates. They are also popular as fashion accessories. In some contexts, they may be associated with cool or mysterious appearances, similar to how sunglasses are viewed in Western culture.
