1. 1可聯絡的、聯絡得到的

    If someone is contactable, you can write to them or telephone them — a letter, a call, or a message can get through. Offices like this word: 'Please stay contactable during the trip.' News uses it when a missing person, a parent, or a company cannot be reached.

    If someone is contactable如果有人可聯絡到 you can write to them你可以寫信給他 or telephone them或打電話給他 a letter一封信 a call一通電話 or a message或一則訊息 can get through都能傳到 Offices辦公室 like this word喜歡用這個字 'Please stay contactable during the trip.'「旅途中請保持聯絡得上」 when a missing person當一個失蹤的人 a parent一位家長 or a company或一家公司 cannot be reached聯絡不到時 News新聞 uses it就會用這個字

    Though actually, in the kitchen nobody says 'Are you contactable?' They say 'Can I call you?' or 'Are you around?' Contactable lives in work English, school notices, and forms.

    Though actually不過其實 in the kitchen在廚房裡 nobody says沒有人會說 'Are you contactable?'「你可聯絡到嗎?」 They say他們會說 'Can I call you?'「我可以打給你嗎?」 or 'Are you around?'或「你在附近嗎?」 Contactable這個字 lives in常出現在 work English, school notices, and forms職場英文、學校通知,和表格裡

    It is about the line being open, not about being friendly, and not about having 'contacts' (people you know). The -able here is the quiet kind: it means 'can be contacted,' the way means 'can be broken.' Some students hear it as 'good at writing to people'; that would be a different idea.

    It is about說的是 the line being open電話線路是暢通的 not about being friendly不是說人友善 and not about having 'contacts'也不是說有「人脈」 (people you know)(認識的人) The -able here這裡的-able is the quiet kind是低調的那種 it means 'can be contacted,'意思是「可以被聯絡到」 the way breakable means 'can be broken.'就像breakable是「可以被打破」 Some students有些學生 hear it as把它聽成 'good at writing to people'「很會寫信給別人」 that would be a different idea那會是另一個意思

    You can be contactable and still not want to talk — the word only says a letter or a call can find you.

    You can be contactable你可以是可聯絡到的 and still not want to talk卻還是不想講話 the word only says這個字只是說 a letter or a call一封信或一通電話 can find you能找到你

core核心畫面

組成From contact + -able. Contact is the getting in touch (writing, calling); -able (from Latin -bilis, through French and Middle English) means 'can be.' So: can be written to or telephoned.
