Think of a feeling turned up so high that it shows on the outside — in the voice, the face, the way someone throws themselves at a thing. Passionate is never quiet: whatever the feeling is about (a person, a belief, a hobby), it burns hot and it is visible.
可以想成：某種感覺被開到很大聲，大到藏不住，會從聲音、表情、投入的程度漏出來。passionate 從來不是安靜的——不管那份感覺對著的是一個人、一個主張，還是一件喜歡做的事，它都是燙的，而且看得見。三個用法的差別，只在於這股熱度是往哪裡燒。
