    逐字所有出席者被鼓勵帶一條毯子給戶外表演。

    「attendee」指「人到了某個活動現場的人」,中文常說出席者、參加者。常見說法:conference / meeting attendees(會議出席者)、each attendee(每一位出席者)、a high percentage of attendees(很高比例的出席者)。核心畫面可以想成「人已經到場的那一位」——attend 是出席,加上 -ee 就像從「去參加」長出「來參加的人」。跟 participant 並排:participant 更強調「有動手、有加入活動」;attendee 先標出「人到了」。跟 audience 分開:audience 多半在看/聽;attendee 涵蓋會議、課程、活動裡所有到場的人。

core核心畫面

Picture the name badges on a table before a conference: each one belongs to a person who will be in the room. The -ee ending marks the one on the receiving side of the action, so an attendee is simply one of the people the event is held for.

可以想成:研討會開始前桌上排好的一排名牌,每一張都屬於一個等一下會坐在場內的人。英文的 -ee 字尾標的是「動作落在他身上的那一方」(employee 被雇用的人、trainee 受訓的人),所以 attendee 就是這場活動辦給他們看的那些人。
