- 1懸垂的、下垂的
Pendent means hanging from something — drooping or suspended, not standing up on its own. It is the same old 'hanging' word as pendant, but this spelling was later tidied to look more like Latin.
Pendent懸垂的 means指的是 hanging from something掛在某個東西上 drooping or suspended垂下來或懸著 not standing up on its own不是自己立著的 It它 is是 the same old 'hanging' word as pendant跟pendant是同一個表示「掛」的老字 but但是 this spelling這個拼法 was later tidied to look more like Latin後來被整理得比較像拉丁文
You will almost never hear it in casual talk; it lives in careful description (a pendent flower, a pendent lamp) and in some technical writing.
You你 will almost never hear it in casual talk幾乎不會在平常聊天裡聽到 it它 lives in careful description會出現在講究的描述裡 (a pendent flower, a pendent lamp垂花、垂燈) and也 in some technical writing出現在一些技術性的寫作裡
Pendant kept the older French look and became the everyday necklace noun; pendent is mostly the adjective 'hanging'. Native writers hesitate over the two spellings, so students are not foolish if they do too.
Pendant這個字 kept the older French look保留了比較舊式的法文長相 and而 became the everyday necklace noun變成日常說項鍊墜子的名詞 pendent懸垂這個字 is mostly則主要是 the adjective 'hanging'「懸垂」這個形容詞 Native writers母語作者 hesitate over the two spellings會在這兩種拼法之間猶豫 so所以 students學生 are not foolish if they do too如果也跟著猶豫並不笨
If you mean the jewel, write pendant. If you mean 'hanging down from', pendent is the rarer, choice — hanging would do in speech.
If如果 you mean the jewel你指的是珠寶墜子 write pendant就寫pendant If如果 you mean 'hanging down from'你指的是「從…垂下來」 pendent懸垂 is the rarer, bookish choice是比較少見、比較書面的選擇 hanging would do in speech口語用hanging就可以了
