    示範例句 · Example

    What are your hobbies? Mine are reading and drawing.

    逐字什麼 是 你的 愛好？我的 是 閱讀 和 畫畫。

    「hobby」是英文裡很常用的「空閒時喜歡做的活動」——通常會一再去做，例如收集郵票、彈吉他、畫畫。它比 interest 更具體：interest 可以是「感興趣的領域」，hobby 多半是你會動手去做的那一件事。比 passion 溫和——passion 是「超愛、很強烈」；hobby 是長期、穩定的喜歡。一種想法是：hobby 可以想成「空閒時間裡會一再去做、自己喜歡的那件事」。常見問法：What are your hobbies?

core核心畫面

The thing you go back to when nobody is asking you to — the model kept on the desk, the guitar in the corner, the garden. Nobody pays you, nobody checks it, and you do it again next weekend anyway.

可以想成：沒有人叫你做，你卻會一再回去做的那件事——桌上做到一半的模型、角落的吉他、後院的菜。沒有人付你錢，也沒有人來檢查，但下個週末你還是會做。這個字強調的是「自己選的、在空閒時間做的」，所以工作和功課都不算。
