  1. 1aB2/ˈlɔɪəl/忠誠的

    Always supporting and helping your friends, family, country, or team, even when things are hard.

    示範例句 · Example

    Aisha is a loyal friend — she always stands by me.

    逐字艾莎是個忠誠的朋友——她總是站在我這邊。

    「loyal」是「不管發生什麼事，你都一直站在某個人、某個團體、某個國家那一邊」。重點在「時間久、遇到困難也不變」——朋友吵架了還挺你，球隊輸球了還去加油，這叫 loyal。跟 faithful 很近，但 loyal 更強調「選擇站在你這邊、支持你」，faithful 更強調「長久不變、不背叛」。常說 loyal to somebody。

core核心畫面

Picture someone who stays on your side after the easy part is over — the friend still there when you lose, the fan still in the stadium at the bottom of the league. The word is not about liking someone; it is about not leaving.

可以想成：好日子過完之後還站在你這邊的那個人——你輸了他還在，球隊墊底了他還去看球。loyal 的重點不是「喜歡」，而是「不離開」，所以它幾乎都跟時間有關：撐過難的那一段，這個字才成立。
