喜樂美語
  1. 1nA2/ˈfɪʃərmən/ · /ˈfɪʃəmən/漁夫；釣魚的人

    someone who catches fish — either as their job, or for fun as a sport.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo's grandfather is a fisherman, and he leaves the harbour before the sun comes up.

    逐字里歐的爺爺是一位漁夫，而且他在太陽出來以前就離開港口。

    英文的 fisherman 一個字就把兩種人都包進去了：靠捕魚吃飯的「漁夫」，還有週末拿著釣竿去河邊玩的「釣客」。中文會分開講，英文不分——要看句子裡的情境才知道是哪一種，例如 a local fisherman（當地漁夫，通常是工作）跟 fishermen along the river（河邊的釣魚的人，通常是興趣）。這個字可以想成從 fish（魚／釣魚）長出來的：fish + -er（做這件事的人）+ -man，所以看到 fisherman，就知道是「跟魚打交道的人」。

core核心畫面

A person at the water's edge or on a boat, line or net in hand, waiting to take fish out of the water — whether that is how they make their living or how they spend a quiet Sunday.

一個人站在水邊或坐在船上，手裡是一支釣竿或一張網，眼睛盯著水面等魚上鉤。這個字就是 fish（捕魚）加上 -er（做這件事的人）再加上 man，字面就是「捕魚的人」。畫面裡沒有規定他是為了生活還是為了消遣——同一個姿勢，可能是凌晨出海的漁船，也可能是週末湖邊的一把折疊椅。
