    示範例句 · Example

    That's an interesting question. I've never thought about it before.

    逐字那是一個有趣的問題。我以前從來沒想過它。

    「interesting」說的是「它抓住了你的注意力，讓你想知道更多」——可能因為它很特別、很刺激，也可能因為它講了你本來不知道的事。它跟 fun 常常都被翻成「有趣」，但兩個抓的點不一樣：fun 是「玩得很開心」，interesting 是「我還想再聽下去、再看下去」。一場演講可以很 interesting 卻一點都不 fun；打水仗可以很 fun 卻沒什麼 interesting。可以想成：interesting 就像有一條線把你的注意力輕輕拉住，讓你捨不得走開。

core核心畫面

You can picture it as something that keeps pulling your attention back: your eyes and mind stay on it a moment longer than you meant to, because it is strange, , or tells you something you did not know. 'Interesting' describes the thing doing the pulling, not the person being pulled.

可以想成：某個東西一直把你的注意力往回拉——你本來只想瞄一眼，卻多停了幾秒，因為它奇怪、刺激，或者講了你原本不知道的事。要注意方向：interesting 說的是「那個東西會吸住人」，不是「人覺得被吸住」（那是 interested）。所以 an interesting book 是書本身好看，I'm interested in the book 才是你被它吸住。
