1. 1聽不見。日常幾乎只說「聽不見」,很少用這個名詞。

    Inaudibility is the noun for being too quiet to hear. The sound does not reach your ears as something you can catch — not because you refused to listen, but because there is too little of it, or a wall, a crowd, or a bad microphone is in the way.

    Inaudibility是這個名詞 is the noun for being too quiet to hear指「太小聲聽不到」這種性質。The sound聲音 does not reach your ears as something you can catch沒有以能被你抓住的形式傳到你耳朵裡——not because you refused to listen不是因為你拒絕去聽, but because there is too little of it而是因為聲音太少, or a wall, a crowd, or a bad microphone is in the way或是有一堵牆、一群人、或一支爛麥克風擋在中間。

    People almost never say this word in daily life. They say they cannot hear it, or that it is inaudible.

    People人們 almost never say this word in daily life在日常生活裡幾乎不會說這個字。They他們 say they cannot hear it會說他們聽不到, or that it is inaudible或說它是inaudible。

    You will meet inaudibility in more formal writing, science, or when someone is naming the quality itself: the inaudibility of a whisper across a noisy hall. It is about volume, distance, and what the air and the room do to sound.

    You你 will meet inaudibility會在 in more formal writing, science較正式的寫作、科學文章裡遇到inaudibility, or when someone is naming the quality itself或者有人特別要點出這種性質本身的時候: the inaudibility of a whisper across a noisy hall像一個耳語在吵鬧大廳裡的inaudibility。It它 is about volume, distance, and what the air and the room do to sound講的是音量、距離,以及空氣和房間對聲音做了什麼。

    It is not about a difficult idea. A person can speak in simple words and still have inaudibility if they are far away.

    It它 is not about a difficult idea跟一個難懂的概念無關。A person一個人 can speak in simple words可以用簡單的字說話 and still have inaudibility但還是可能有inaudibility if they are far away如果他離得很遠。

    Though actually, even in careful writing the adjective inaudible is far more common than this noun.

    Though actually不過其實, even in careful writing就連在嚴謹的寫作裡, the adjective inaudible形容詞inaudible is far more common than this noun都遠比這個名詞常見。
