    示範例句 · Example

    逐字那場學校話劇得到了來自學生和家長的有利評論。

    「favorable」是英式 favourable 的美式拼法,意思完全一樣。核心可以想成「往好的那邊傾斜」:評價是正面的(a favorable review/response/opinion),或條件對事情有幫助(favorable conditions/terms)。比 good 更書面一點,常出現在評論、報告、正式說明。跟 favorite 不同:favorite 是「最喜歡的」;favorable 是「有利的/贊成的」。

Picture things leaning your way: the review that praises you, the wind that pushes the boat forward, the terms that suit your side. Whether it is an opinion or a condition, the word says the situation is tilted in someone's favour.

可以想成:情勢往你這邊傾——一篇稱讚你的評論、把船往前推的風、對你這方有利的條件。不管講的是意見還是條件,這個字都在說「這件事偏向某一方」。拼法上要注意:favorable 是美式,英式寫 favourable,多一個 u。
