1. 1prepB2/kənˈsɜːrnɪŋ/ · /kənˈsɜːnɪŋ/關於;有關

    正式About; used to say what a question, a letter, or a piece of information is about, or what a rule or a fact relates to.

    示範例句 · Example

    The school sent a letter to parents concerning the new bus times.

    逐字學校寄了一封信給家長,關於新的公車時間。

    concerning 就是 about 的正式版,意思一模一樣,差別在它聽起來像公告、信件或報告的口氣,日常說話很少用。它常常接在名詞後面,把「這件事是關於什麼」補清楚:questions concerning the trip(關於旅行的問題)、the rules concerning food(有關食物的規定)。可以想成它是從動詞 concern(牽涉到、跟…有關)長出來的:問題「牽」到旅行,規定「牽」到食物。跟 regarding 幾乎可以互換;口語裡直接說 about 最自然。

core核心畫面

Think of a line drawn from a letter, a question or a rule to the exact thing it touches. This word is that line: it does no more than point at the topic. It is the dressed-up cousin of about — you meet it in emails, notices and official documents rather than in talk between friends.

可以想成從一封信、一個問題或一條規定,拉出一條線指向它所碰到的那件事。這個詞就是那條線,它不表達意見、不加感情,只負責把「這是在講什麼」標出來。它等於是 about 穿上正式服裝的樣子:出現在公文、通知、電子郵件裡,朋友之間聊天不會這樣講。
