  1. 1nA2/ɪkˈsplɔːrər/ · /ɪkˈsplɔːrə/探險家

    someone who travels through a place that people do not know well, to find out about it.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei wants to be an explorer and map places no one has studied yet.

    逐字美想要成為一個探險家，並且繪製還沒有人研究過的地方的地圖。

    「explorer」是「走進大家還不太了解的地方、去把那裡弄清楚的人」。How can we think of it? 核心畫面可以想成「去未知的地方看一看、找出答案」——動詞 explore（探索）的人，就是 explorer。它跟 tourist（觀光客）不一樣：tourist 去好玩、休息的地方；explorer 的重點是「還沒被好好認識的地方」。常見說法：great explorer（偉大的探險家）、early explorers（早期探險家）、cave explorer（洞穴探險者）。

core核心畫面

Picture someone walking into country that is not on anyone's map yet — no guide, no fixed route, just the aim of coming back knowing what is there. The word carries both the going and the finding out: travelling is only half of it.

可以想成：一個人走進地圖上還沒畫出來的地方——沒有嚮導、沒有既定路線，唯一的目的是回來的時候知道那裡有什麼。這個字同時裝著「走進去」和「弄清楚」兩件事，光是旅行還不算，要帶回未知的答案才算。
