喜樂美語
  1. 1vB2/ˈkʌstəmaɪz/客製化；訂製

    To change something so it fits a particular person better, or so it looks special and different from others of the same kind.

    示範例句 · Example

    The first thing Mei did was customize the home screen on her new phone.

    逐字美做的第一件事是客製化她新手機上的主畫面。

    「customize」是把一樣普通的東西「改成適合某個人」——讓它更好用，或看起來更特別、跟別人不一樣。核心畫面可以想成：先有一個標準版，再往「你的需要／你的風格」靠近一點。常見說法：customize a car / phone / settings、customize something for someone、customized software。跟 adapt 很近但焦點不同：adapt 多半是「改成能用在新情況」；modify 是「小改一下讓它更好」；customize 強調「為特定的人量身調整」。英式拼法是 customise。

core核心畫面

Start from something standard — the same jacket, the same car, the same app screen that everyone else gets. Now picture someone taking that standard thing and reshaping it around one particular person: the sleeves to this arm, the seats set for this driver, the buttons moved to where this user's thumb lands. The English word carries the idea of a customer inside it: the thing is being remade to that one customer's order, instead of being made once for everybody. So the result is both a better fit and a different object from the one on the shelf.

先想一件標準的東西——大家拿到的都是同一件外套、同一款車、同一個 App 畫面。接著可以想成有人把這件標準品拿過來，繞著某一個人重新調整：袖子改到這隻手臂的長度、座椅調成這位駕駛的位置、按鈕挪到這位使用者拇指剛好碰得到的地方。這個英文字裡面藏著 customer（顧客）：東西是照那一位顧客的要求重做的，而不是一次做好給所有人。所以做完的結果同時有兩個特點——更合身，而且看得出來跟架上那一件不一樣。
