喜樂美語
  1. 1aC1/ˈnoʊtəsəbəl/ · /ˈnəʊtəsəbəl/明顯的

    Easy to notice — clear or big enough that people see, hear, smell, or feel it without looking for it. Often used about a change, a difference, or an effect, and in "it is noticeable that…" to say everyone can tell something is true.

    示範例句 · Example

    After two days of rest, there was a noticeable improvement in Ren's health.

    逐字在兩天的休息之後，阿仁的健康有了明顯的改善。

    「noticeable」說的是「大到、清楚到會被人發現」——不用特別去找，眼睛、耳朵、鼻子自己就察覺到了。可以想成它是從 notice（注意到）加上 -able（能被…的）長出來的：重點在「那個東西夠明顯」，不在誰比較細心。它最常配「變化」類的字（a noticeable change / difference），也有固定句型 It was noticeable that...（大家都看得出來…）。跟 obvious 容易搞混——obvious 偏「一看就懂」，noticeable 偏「感官上察覺得到」。

core核心畫面

You can picture something that reaches you without being looked for: you were not searching, not paying special attention, and it still got into your eyes, ears, or nose. A noticeable thing crosses the line from 'there, if you check' to 'there, whether you check or not'. That is why it so often describes a change, a difference, or an effect — the point is not how big it is in absolute terms, but that it is big enough to be picked up.

可以想成一種「不用去找、它自己就進來了」的狀態：你沒有特別留意，眼睛、耳朵或鼻子還是接收到了。noticeable 的重點不在絕對的大小，而在它跨過了那條線——從「仔細看才看得到」變成「不看也躲不掉」。所以它最常拿來講變化、差異、效果：不是說這個差別很巨大，而是說它已經大到會被人接收到。
