喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/ɡɪld/同業公會 / 行會

    An organized group of people who do the same kind of work or share the same interest, who join together to help each other.

    示範例句 · Example

    In the old town, the bakers formed a guild to share recipes and set fair prices.

    逐字在那座老城裡，麵包師傅們組成了一個公會，分享食譜並訂出公平的價格。

    「guild」是「一群做同一種工作的人，組成一個團體互相幫忙」。可以想成把同一行的師傅們圈在一起的一個圈子——古代有麵包師、鐵匠的 guild，現代遊戲裡玩家也組 guild 一起打怪。重點是「同行＋組織起來」這兩個元素，跟臨時湊在一起的 group 不一樣，guild 通常有規矩、有成員身分。

    常見搭配

    • join a guild

      加入公會

      to become a member of a guild

      He had to pass a test to join the guild.

    • form a guild

      組成公會

core核心畫面

Picture craftsmen of the same trade banding together — bakers with bakers, weavers with weavers — pooling their strength so they can protect each other, set standards, and look after their own. A guild is that organized group of same-work or same-interest people joined for mutual help.

可以想成同一行的師傅們聚在一起：做麵包的跟做麵包的、織布的跟織布的，把力量合起來，好彼此照應、訂規矩、保護自己人。guild 就是這種「同行或同好結成、互相幫忙」的有組織團體——把一群做同樣事的人綁成一股繩子。
