看來樓上的各位都挺明白的
我也以為是我自己英文不好,就又查了遍詞典,rubber還是橡皮的意思,跟小學老師教我們的一樣:flaming:
下面是一个解释(佩服我自己一下,太好为人师了):

for me it always means erasers but several days ago when I was in England I asked an English guy that if he had an rubber, and he told me I have to go to "the machine" to get one, and, very seriously, he told me this conversation is really odd. I wasn't realized nothing, the only thought was that he was really weird, but today I heard that "rubber" in some areas of england refers to "condom", so Im wondering that what does rubber mean in your area?

Well, other than the substance ("rubber") derived from rubber trees, it can be slang in the U.S. for a condom.

If someone said "a rubber" I would immediately think of a condom. Aside from that you only really hear it in "this is made of rubber" or "that's a rubber puck" etc.
