1. 1aB2/ˈmemərəbəl/難忘的;值得記住的

    示範例句 · Example

    逐字林老師想要學期的最後一天真正地難忘,所以她把全班帶到河邊去。

    memorable 講的是「那件事好到、特別到值得記住」,主詞通常是一天、一趟旅行、一場表演、一個瞬間這種經驗。它由 memory(記憶)加 -able 組成,可以想成「這件事替自己在你的記憶裡掙到一個位子」——重點在「值得留」,不只是「留得住」。跟 unforgettable 比,memorable 是「會記很久」,unforgettable 更強,是「一輩子忘不掉」。

Something with enough in it that it stays with you on its own — you are not trying to keep it, but weeks later it is still there when you look back.

可以想成:大部分的日子過完就沖掉了,可是有些事情本身帶著鉤子——太好玩、太特別、或太不尋常——你沒有刻意去記,它卻自己留在腦子裡,隔了很久回頭一看還在。memorable 講的就是那個「自己會留下來」的性質,重點在這件事有沒有那個份量,不在你記性好不好。
