喜樂美語
  1. 1vC1/mɑːr/ · /mɑː/破壞、損及

    正式To spoil or damage something good, making it less perfect or less enjoyable.

    示範例句 · Example

    The lovely picnic was marred by a sudden heavy rain.

    逐字那場美好的野餐被一場突然的大雨所破壞。

    「mar」可以想成「在一張漂亮的畫上劃了一道」——本來好好的東西，被某個瑕疵或意外弄得不完美。它常用在「美好的事物被一點不好的東西拖累」：一場完美的婚禮被大雨 mar，一張臉被疤痕 mar。比 damage（純粹弄壞）更強調「破壞了原本的美好或完整」，語氣偏正式、偏書面。

    常見搭配

core核心畫面

You can picture 'mar' as a single ugly scratch across something that was smooth and whole — a mark, a flaw, a blemish that doesn't destroy the thing but takes away its perfection, so it is no longer as good or as pleasing as it was.

可以想成：一道刮痕劃過原本光滑完整的東西。它不一定把東西毀掉，而是留下一個瑕疵、一個污點，讓它不再那麼完美、那麼好、那麼令人愉快。
